Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

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.
