Abstract
Geneva, July 23, 1969,1750Z
The Mission transmitted the Biafran Government's open letter to Special Coordinator Clyde Ferguson suggesting acceptance of Secretary of State Rogers' statement on relief. Biafra accepted day and night relief flights, day flights to commence immediately, and the Cross River proposal. The letter went on, however, to impose conditions that negated acceptance of the proposals.
