DEPARTMENT OF STATE INR BRIEFING NOTE TO: The Director, INR DATE: June 12, 1968 TIME: 15:00 SOURCE(S) FBIS CTK Int'l Service in English June 10, 1968 CLASS./CONTROL(S) In a brief announcement the Czechoslovak state that the North Vietnamese economic delegation headed by Le Thanh Nghi would "arrive in the very near future to discuss Czechoslovak assistance to the DRV and cooperation between the two countries in 1969." INR/RSB COMMENT The Prague announcement is the first we have seen, either from Czechoslovakia or North Vietnam, that Le Thanh Nghi would include Czechoslovakia on his current swing through Eastern Europe. The announcement avoids any reference to "military" assistance, and perhaps its timing, several days before the North Vietnamese arrive, is designed to forestall the new customary announcements from Hanoi that the economic delegation is coming to conclude both economic and military aid agreements.
