[Excerpts] The new director of the Central Intelligence Agency, George Bush, does not
exclude the possibility that America in future will carry out operations in order to
overthrow governments in other countries that it is dissatisfied with. Bush was
speaking in the Harvard Business School Club in New York, and there he was asked
whether or not the CIA would. under his leadership, launch operations similar to the
overthrow of the legitimate government in Chile. Well, the chief of the Central
Intelligence Agency answered evasively, saying that every (?concrete) case must be
viewed individually. (?However) recent investigations by the American Congress have
confirmed that the American CIA, is (?crudely) interfering in the internal affairs of
other countries. There was particular world-wide indignation over the [word indistinct
of the conspiracy to kill public leaders that the-United States was dissatisfied with.
In the United States and in several West European. countries, the recruiting agencies
continue working, recruiting mercenaries for the racist Salisbury regime--and again,
the money for this cranes from the Central Intelligence Agency. There is such an
office, for example, on 135th Street, in Manhattan.

[Text] Tokyo, April 5, TASS--The Central Intelligence Agency of the United States
has been giving financial support to the Liberal Democratic Party [LDP] of Japan for
a long time. This was reported by all Japanese newspapers. The names of individuals
who received money from the American Intelligence service are so far unknown.
The newspaper MAINICHI writes that the main aim of the CIA's financial support was to
consolidate the conservatives' camp and restrain the growing influence of the Communist
Party of Japan and other progressive forces of the country.
As is clar from the MAINICHI's report, politicians from the ruling party of Japan were
most actively financed by the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1960's when the popular
movement of protest against revision of the Japanese-American security treaty was widely
underway, which involved Japan into an orbit of the United States' military policy.

in Japan shed light on why the cabinet of the then Prime Minister Kishi revised the
