The basic concept for any successful result la that

Must novo against tha repineconsequently the major Issue Is whatnecessary to perieede the acproprlste officers to now*. It Is felt that

felly tale (rated large scale action, as originally planned, weald clearly

produce the result. Due, however, to unforeseen problems ln Materielaa to the leadership of Ctlllgerls and possible Internal lossas

episode, the capacity for achieving the integrated plan may

have-to be unduly delayed or actually substantially chanted. Therefore,stisailas to produce Amy reaction should be planned at least asalternative.

b. The aost pronlilng alternative would seen to be thej soon as the effects efestablish

the proper nelhod for doing It. Concurrently leaflet drops, specificpossibly political assassination should be carefully uerked out Moreover, Material should be oovsdam: cached ln all

ways possible. The hop* would be that this approach night persuadeto take sntl-Arbent action on Its oxi. Ijdot, the results of

the efforts, accentuated by UMsteps Just Mentioned, could b. umiri. If resistance potential dev.lope, mUtIiI could ba dle-tributed either froa internal caches. If developed, or dropped by night flights .ction eonpsrsble to tht original plan underteXen. If early action proves unwise,lassical longer range resistance build-up een be sdopted wlln ato action et tha first propitious ncvenent.

J. It IS obvious that this alternative in the first instance wouldifferent use of existing suets than presently contenplatod. Cn the other hand, the possibility of successful pressure on the Amy for independent action, and the alternative of longer range build-up if earlier solutions do not occur.
