Memorandum From Roger Morris of the National Security Council Staff to the Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs (Newsom), Washington, October 6, 1969
Abstract
Washington, October 6, 1969
Morris outlined new diplomatic efforts for ending the Biafran War. He believed the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) had done some fast shuffling with the daylight flight proposal so the Federal Military Government (FMG) was committed while Biafra was not. Morris felt that the next proposals must be precise.
