Folder 3
Contents:
Folder 3 contains telegrams and CIA cables regarding U.S.-Czech relations and possible financial aid and intervention, discussions of returning Nazi-looted gold to act as a screen for aid, and correspondence considering Soviet reactions to Czech developments and the likelihood of Soviet military action. Several documents deal with the case of Czech general Jan Sejna, who defected from the CSR to the United States in early 1968 at the beginning of the Prague Spring. Other telegrams reveal U.S. officials' alarm at accusations of U.S. intervention, possibly originating from Soviet intelligence. Also includes Czech analysis of Sino-Soviet relations and their possible impact on future U.S.-U.S.S.R. cooperation and ongoing Czech political developments.
