- .TOP SECRET DIRECTOR'S LOG 4TE OF DATE 8:30 AM,25 Sept.- 8:30 AM,26 Sept. )CUMENT RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION OPC Gayalo Thondup, another brother of the Dalai Lama, has arrived in the U.S. accompanied by his Chinese wife and child. At present, the 3 are guests in Virginia-of the Dalai Lama's brother Tak-teer, supported by the CIA-controlled Committee For A Free Asia. CIA attempted to forestall Gayalo's trip to the U.S. because of suspected Nationalist connections of undetermined nature. These attempts were unsuccessful. Gayalo has indicated no definite'plans.: He has not requested support from the Committee For A Free Asia so'far, however, and it is known that he wishes to enter a university. The field reports that CIA agents in no way indicated U.S. Government interest in the CIA-controlled International Federation of World Veterans' Organizations when arranging for a South Korean Army Lieutenant to participate in the Federations's recent Rome conference. A CIA agent who has completed a survey of Macao reports that- the Standard-Vacuum Oil Company and Caltex petroleum in- stallations there are very accessible targets for sabotage. The field questions the desirability-of'attempting sabotage, however, unless there is definite proof that the facilities are involved in leakages of petroleum .to. the Communists. Intelligence channels are ascertaining.if such-is the case. Chinese Nationalist guerrillas returniig from CIA-directed mainland operations report that the Communists are generally forewarned of guerrilla operations. The field reports its awareness of this situation and stresses the extreme dif- ficulty of maintaining the security of landing operations, but reports that Chinese Communist confusion, as determined from underground reports and radio intercepts, indicates that, except in the case of one operation, they have not had knowledge of raiding targets or landing dates and that they had no definite plans to counter. 5 1951TOP SECRET (6QA imfi) COPY # I OF 5.
