indicate that the political situation there is
virtually resolved. The King has written a
letter ~to the Prime Minister agreeing in principle
to the constitutiorial changes proposed by the
recent coup group and requesting Phibul, the
present Prime Minister, to form .a Cabinet. This
letter was shown our Chief of Station at a con-
- ference held between him, the Prime:Minister and
- Turner, the U.S. Charge d'Affaires. ,The situation,
with, the King's recent arrival serving .to mitigate
somewhat the power of Phibul and his group, is now
particularly good for the use of political leverage
to further U.S. aims. It is- believed that .our.
Chief of Station will be able to employ this. lever-
age to its fullest extent.
The field has reported that the recent CIA-controlled
International Federation World Veterans Organizations
conference held in Belgrade was deemed successful.
The conference agenda covered procedural matters
- principally although some pro-Western matters were
favorably acted upon.
