1. The Korean situation has h ndi Dated that, in the ?Dhabi pope ~w
currently being waged between the democratic nations arm the t sP}enxni.4
imperialist nations, the USSR has willingly undertaken a grave risk of nri-
cipitating a general world war. At such a time, it i8 - im rnti^ a t,d >t Egeeti?
strengthen the intelligence support for the national foreign infer
psychological warfare programs of the government.
2. That these programs are of paramount leortariee was attested; `-
President of the United States when. in a White House press release of
August 30, 1950, he stated:
''At a time when he Kremlin is spartingr, no" effort to s,Aread
the most flagrant, Lies about this country and `our all-.133 WO
must forge ahead with this great and extensive camps !ft.
Truth must prevail- throughout the world ?.f we are to have - g ;
and lasting peace".
In addition, the Secrete ry of State has said that the Sovaea: Univ.? ' s
propaganda effort now borders on open psyehologie l warfare and is
A.
threat to this country's foreign policy objectives; that if the United
States is to succeed in those objectives it must ~.eize the psychbb1ogi*.l
offensive, basing that offensive on truth.
