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.

SOURCE(S) CLASS./CONTROL(S) was prohibited for about a 2-month period.

We note that our colleague Kenneth Kerst, whose visa to travel to Moscow by train through Brest was cancelled by the Soviets May 11, was planning the Moscow leg of his trip last weekend, June 1-3, during the period of the present ban. This may be a curious coincidence. Us11B The Watch Committee is already seized of the subject, and discussed it--but without reaching firm conclusions--last Wednesday, June 5.
