Validity Study of NIE 36.5-56:
The Outlook for US Interests in Libya,
published 19 June 1956
N1E 36.5-56 has generally held up well and remains useful as
a basic estimative analysis of Libya and US interests therein.
However, it has to some extent been outdated by the recent British
decision to make drastic reductions in its military and financial
commitments in Libya and other base areas and by the repercussions
of the Suez crisis. It should therefore be used only in conjunction
with SNIE 36.5-57, in which these and other later developments are
taken into account.
