Cold War will undoubtedly be of some help in formu-
lating future policies and plans. Until recently, access
to sensitive records on such subjects was extremely
restricted. Next year information on developments
over the past 30 years in Indochina and Indonesia
should be much more readily available. A clear vision
of the future will most probably be enhanced by an
objective and unbiased understanding of the recent
past. Perhaps before long we shall learn much more
about the role of foreign intelligence agencies in the
generation of clandestine tribal armies in northern
Laos, in the overthrow of the Cambodian monarchy in
1970, and in the assumption of power of a Western-
oriented military regime in Indonesia. As events have
often proven, the short run triumphs of political tacti-
cians can sometimes result in the ruin of long-term
strategic plans (i.e. Iran). Scholarly investigation of
the past may prove to be of more than passing utility
in charting the future.
