Memorandum From Richard V. Allen of the National Security Council Staff to the President's Assistant for National Security Affairs (Kissinger), Washington, February 13, 1969
Abstract
Washington, February 13, 1969
Allen commented that the three Biafra situation papers had given insufficient attention to the roles of Western Europe and the United Nations. Anticipating that when a policy decision was made, Nixon's two statements on the Nigerian Civil War made during his Presidential campaign might be recalled, he attached a composite Nixon's statements from July 17 and September 10, 1968.
