MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence
The attached translation has not been passed to any of the USIB
agencies.
Foreign Documents Division plans to include the article in its
weekly publication "International Communist Developments", which is
distributed in about 360 copies within the U. S. Government.
A few copies of the FDD publication are sent to the External
Research Division of the Department of State and, since the Apteker article
has a removable "Official Use Only" cover, copies may reach univer-
sities and non-government sources. In addition, CIAts 10 Division
frequently makes this kind of translation available to some of its over-
seas operations.
