Documents / FOIA release
This is the President's Intelligence Checklist for 11 September 1961, a Central Intelligence Agency daily briefing sent as a White House outgoing message. It reports on Berlin developments and Warsaw Pact military preparedness, and on Soviet missile tests from Tyura Tam that the CIA judges to be part of ICBM development. It also covers Adenauer's electoral decline, the easing Bizerte crisis, Indonesian disappointment with the Belgrade conference, and short notes on Iran, Afghanistan, Ghana, Katanga, Iraq, Tibet and Cuba. It contains no UFO material.
