Documents / FOIA release
This is a compilation of Department of State Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) briefing notes to the Director of INR, mostly dated June 12, 1968, with some from June 6, 1968. The notes cover world events, including student riots in Paris, East German passport and visa rules for West Germans, a UN resolution on South West Africa, a change of Komsomol leadership, Sino-Nepalese relations, and the Colombian presidential resignation crisis. Unrest in Senegal and Somalia is also covered. None of the notes discuss UFOs.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE INR BRIEFING NOTE TO: The Director, INR DATE: 6/12/68 TIME: 14:00 PM SOURCE(S) Warsaw 3552 SOURCE(S) Reuters, Warsaw, 6/12 INR Comment: Kowalski had been in Bonn exactly two years and his normal tour was presumably up. However, since he is an old communist, who fought in Spain, is Jewish and is reportedly not well, he presumably could not look forward to another job in Poland. People with his background are now facing both unemployment and harrassment in Poland. As the situation for Polish communists of Jewish origin gets worse, defections are becoming increasingly likely. Kowalski is a defector, we are told. INR OFFICE H3N/EE BRIEFER Irane Jaffe EXTENSION 4924 CONFIDENTIAL FNW 31097 DocId:33061196 Page 6 (Classification)
