Approved for Release: 2018/06/01 C00123268 Cold War will undoubtedly be of some help in formu- lating future policies and plans. Until recently, access to sensitive records on such subjects was extremely restricted. Next year information on developments over the past 30 years in Indochina and Indonesia should be much more readily available. A clear vision of the future will most probably be enhanced by an objective and unbiased understanding of the recent past. Perhaps before long we shall learn much more about the role of foreign intelligence agencies in the generation of clandestine tribal armies in northern Laos, in the overthrow of the Cambodian monarchy in 1970, and in the assumption of power of a Westem- oriented military regime in Indonesia. As events have often proven, the short run triumphs of political tacti- cians can sometimes result in the ruin of long-term strategic plans (i.e. Iran). Scholarly investigation of the past may prove to be of more than passing utility in charting the future. l 126 Approved for Release: 2018/06/01 C00123268
