Abstract
July 10, 1969, 2239Z
The Department provided the text of a classified report on the Biafran food situation. A survey of Biafra's food needs indicated the supply should be adequate in terms of caloric content, even without relief shipments, at least through the end of the summer but the shortage of protein foods would become acute.
