Ireliminary Debriefing
13 May 1995, 2030-2130.
1. Frior to my departure for New York to handle the preliminary
debriefing of THERIAULT, I discussed the following subjects with CNEA-5:
1) In view of the fact that THERIAULT's expenses on her recent
trip to India have been greater than was anticipated, :1,000
aliitional funds have or are to be shortly deposited to her bank.
This will be done by sterile check. It is to be accounted for
under the terms of the original contract.
2) CFA-5 suggested that I take her reports up with me for
possible annotation and expansion. Upon examination on 14 May,
this appears unfeasible in view of the fact that there are CIA
como indicators and RI symbols attached directly to the reports,]
3) CNEA-5 surrested that I pursue with THERIAULT the
possibility of developing an interest in Krishna Menon, utilizing
This
a cleared publisher who could request Menon to write a book,
a proach to be based on Menon's acute susceptability to flattery.
4) CNEA-5 suggested that THE LAULT be asked to review the
areas of her influence in order to lay the groundwork for an
official invitation to visit this country being extended to the
Trime Minister in the future. He suggested Sen. George and
Chester Bowles as possible points of departure.
5) THERIAULT is to be informed that her reports have been
of inneasurable assistance to the Ambassador and to the U.S.
Government vis-a-vis policy planning for India.
6) THERIALET is to be asked to come to Washington for a day
This is
or so in the very near future for further debriefing.
to be arranged at her convenience.
7) In view of the fact that THERIAULT has been unwitting
of the Agency's role in sponsoring her trip, I suggested that I
now make her witting in terms of the security involved.
seemed advisable to me since it is likely that there will be
future contacts with TH RIAULT. CNEA-5 agreed to this.

8) THERIAULT is to be advised that she is at liberty to
discuss any and all aspects of her trip with anybody with the
eception of the Agency's role in sponsoring it.

A very good project has recently been launched. It Le
crlled The Delhi Training and orientation Centre for
Foreign Technici: ne in India. This is the second time it
has been held, I think. It begins today, Jan. 24. Contimmes
for two weeks. (The first one worked out a fine short
bibliography on India; and a little brochure on "Foods
available in North India.) This second course covers
the Indian village, with visits out to villages; Indian
art prohitecture, dance; Indian history; religion; Islam
in India; other religions and philosophies; Indian Pamily
life and customs; Health problems and resurocs; educational
problems; urban problems; rural unemployment and aid, the
role of foreign aid in India; discussion of the Five Year
Plan.
про
It is the kind of briefing that every foreigner coming to
Indie, should have. It is open to ell of them We were
invited simply es guests and shall attend many of the meetings.
Pilns are shown; trips to art galleries and museums etc.
Hiss Hersey has had much to do with this; slso Dr. Douglas
Esminger. And probably others, too. Indians will do most
of the briefing.
I shall write later about the Five Year Plan. Am still
studying it. Shall have a number of interviews with the
plannere, or with a few of them. Shall also go out on deveral
of the projects. This seems important to me for social
changes and how they are made broed politics. The political

social pictures are not studied and analysed carefully.
