strafe a concentration of enemy troopa in the Kwesangbong area

The Dalai Lama of Tibet has responded to the State
Department message conveyed to him in. July by his elder brother
offering covert US assistance to maintain the autonomy of
Tibet. The response expressed deep regret that the Dalai Lama
was unable.to take immediate advantage of the US offer. The
Dalai Lama said that he was forced by circumstances and the
needs of his people to return to Lhasa but hoped that the US
would not lose confidence in him and would continue to be friendly.
OPC's two principal agents in Iran report the receipt of
a message from a source inside the Tudeh Party on 25 September in-
forming them that the Provincial Coraittee of the Tudeh Party has
advised Tudeh cells to be ready for action and to stand by for in-
structions to "get to work". The source did not know what."work"
meant, but believed it meant revolution or major civil disturbance.
The field cautions that the report is not entirely clear and states
that no information on a planned Communist-inspired revolution-
has been received from embassy or other CIA sources. The field
comments, however, that regardless of the-validity of the report
it appears evident that increased Tudeh Party ;activity is imminent.
US officials in Teheran have been infored of the report. . At
headquarters, it has been placed' in :the normal intelligence distribution
channels.
