MEMORANDUM FOR THE SPECIAL GROUP
SUBJECT: Counter-Insurgency Critical List
1, As agreed at last week's meeting, I asked the
Board of National Estimates to consider each of the eleven
countries now carried on the Counter-Insurgency critical list.
2. Attached are eleven assessments, one for each
country, which I believe are responsive to this requirement.
In each case, the study seeks to:
(a) identify the nature of the internal threat,
including the extent of Communist influence,
(b) assess the strength and orientation of the
present government and its capabilities for dealing
with insurgency, and
(c) suggest the likely course of events with
particular reference to possible active insurgency.
