DEPARTMENT OF STATE GIST: FRG and Icelandic Representatives At NATO Report Receipt of Soviet Note on Vietnam. TO: The Secretary DATE: June 6, 1968 FROM: The Director, INR TIME: COMMENTS CONTAINED IN INR BRIEFING NOTES ARE INITIAL AND TENTATIVE. SOURCE(S) CLASS./CONTROL(S) USNATO 3312, June 4, Conf. At senior Polads meeting on June 4 FRG representative mentioned called attention to a statement he had circulated on the Soviet note his government had received on Vietnam. The Icelandic representative stated that Soviet ambassador had presented Soviet note on Vietnam to Foreign Minister on May 20. INR Comment: We know of no other NATO countries having received a Soviet note on Vietnam. Apparently the notes to the FRG and the Iceland were similar and appear intended to weaken support for the US position at the Paris talks among the NATO states.
