Joint Committee on Atomic Energy, called and asked if I would drop by

10. Received a call from Pat Holt, Consultant,
Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who said he wanted to know what
was going on in Costa Rica. I told him that the recent press reports,
such as the story in the current Miami Herald, were completely unfounded
--that there was no plot for a coup, no official PNG action, and President
Figueres had been quoted in the Costa Rican press as denying the Miami
Herald allegations. Mr. Holt said that in any event he would like to be
brought up-to-date on just what was going on in Costa Rica and I said we
'would be glad to do so and I would be in touch with him tomorrow.
