Unrest in Senegal and Somalia is also covered. None of the notes discuss UFOs.

Tad Szulc reported in the BYTimes on 6 June that approximately 90 vehicles were sighted east of Prague. At 60 vehicles per battalion, the convoy sighted was approximately a battalion and a half. An added note—the Soviets are believed to be bringing their own POL, food and water since there have been several statements that they would not be living off the Czech economy. Permanent Stationing of Soviet Troops in Czechoslovakia: Cepicky denied once again that Warsaw Pact units would be stationed permanently in Czechoslovakia. He charged that Western press agencies were spreading such rumors to cause trouble between the Czech people and the USSR. Our information indicates that the issue was raised for the first time when Yakubovsky visited Prague in April. It has been appearing in the press and in various reports ever since.
