That is, programs directed. to one Satellite. country may. be jasmed not only from within the country but fron Rusota and from neighboring Satellites. oo At least some of. the jammers are closely controlled so that efforts to evade them by changeo in frequency or schedules are frequently "met by & prompt reaction on the part of the Jammer -- within a minute or lesa. . fhe extent of integration of ‘the total Bloc jamming aysten makes it very aiffieult. to ge eperate the effort cantributed withla ‘the Satellites, Hovever, it ia presently estinated that; about 900 tranenitters are in the Jamming effort within the Bloo, and thease appear to be fairly well dtetribitea throughout the total of the frequencies that are being used at ony given tima.

Although be is anquestionably ‘one of the French “doers, " a8 opposed to “talkers, ' in this field, he is alao quite a big-mouth and inclined to over -talk, Over-promise and over- -dagger stage setting. U he hasn't got a guard, armed to the teeth, with a beret and a half-burned cigarette glued to his underlip, lurking outside the dining-room, he can't enjoy hig meal, «ss: Iacidentally, She might co ratted as chaperone for this trip. I would suggest that you show the attached te Abbott Washburn, George ' Mergan, Tom Sraden and/or Bill Durkee, and Joe Phillips (also thio note) | and suggeot that they work out whe-should consider himeell responsible. I personally hope Joe Phillips will be willing to take it on. C.D. J.
14-00000 COPY a The following is {rom a dispatch written by Me. William Tyler, dated (22 June 1953. conversation with Jean Paul David, at which time he ae _. AL. After a recent , ' outlined hie activities and ideas in connection with the mission with which he is charged by Geargos Bidault, I received a letter from him. 2. It will be seon from this ister that David is moat anxioua that the report which he will make an his eurvey should represent, without committing any ONG Country, @ systhesis of the views and the resources of the Western powers allied under NATO, in the broad field of propaganda and psychological warlare designed to build support for Western defense palicy and to promote ’ the achlevement ofthe Odjectives of these policies, , 3. Tt occurs to me that's difficulty which we-have to face, and which we - are probably unique in having to face; is due to the organisational otructure within which we oparate officially ia the general field under discussion. “In a@ country like Italy, for example, it is possible fer David te have oxchangea of views with high officials of.the- government and to feel reasonably sure that even though such views are net to be taken as 5 commitment, they do in fact represent the disposition af the government in question, or any government likely to succéed it, toward these problems. In our case, however, it seeme to me that it will require careful Preparation to determine with whom David shoild conawt and to work out a conatructive position which will influence his report and his FecOmmendations in a direction which we approve, - ; 4. It is particularly difficult for ms to make epecific recommendations, since developments in Washington in the last few months ara difficult to keep up with fram overseas. [t would, therefore, be particularly helpful to-have headquarters' views at this stage on the following points, assuming “that David. will go tothe States in late September on the last leg of hia survey: a. With whem should he meet for basic discussions. {lt occurs to me that a Suitable body, if et ill in exiatence, would.be the Psychological Operations Coordinatiag Cammittes.) . 8 , b. Within what limits at this time are we prepared to discuss the problem of concerted action for the psychological strength of the North Atlaatic Community. 5. As headquarters is aware, C. DL Jackson knows David personally, and it would perhaps be useful to arrange for conversations with him and any group he might have in mind.:- It is true that the position of David lie anomalous, since the survey on which he is engaged, | ____ | is of the most official
kind possible. As’ headquarters has pointed out, his ‘interests ia hie present. mission in reality pertain more te the State Department and NATO than to ua, and it seema to mo that we should not be in the direct Hing of fire _ except in. the capacity of individual observers or participants in the conversations he will have, - Te would, therefore, seem to be all the more important that we arrivo ata clear undorsitanding among ourselves aa te . how David's trip to the States wlll be organised and what is te be the ' respective rele of tha component slomants in the peyckological affert with regard t to hie survey. /S} WILLIAM TYLER |

It may be well for us to discuss how we can best take ad- vantage of rurther demonstrations and ricts in the asatellito a:cas. Should there be an uprising in Foland, for exauple, it may be desire ‘able for RFE to place broaicasting time at the disposal of Radio Liberation go that the latter may address concentrated ani repeated appeale to the Red Army not to fire on Polish vorkers abd peasants, mot to interfere in the Folish struggle for freejom, and to consider the Polish people ag the allies of the Soviet people in their common struggle against Comminise. It was this lice that Hadio Liberation follewed during the East Geraan uprisings. In the event of riots ia Caechoslovakia whe re the Red Army ig cot present in force aad where the satellite security rorcea may te unable to keep order, close cooperation will be even core destratle. 3. Copeideration could be given to having RFE allot Radio Liberation regular time ex its proaccests to Poland and Bulgaria where there are large corcentcations of Sovi.t troops eo that. Radio Liberation ean further tuild up tre idea of o free, boviet antie- Communist moral and political authority asi to esprese the solidar- ity ef the Soviet peoples with th: oppressed countries of Central and Eastern Zurope. Radio Liberation could also allot regular tiges oa ite transmitters ao trat spokesuen of tree Czechoslovakia asa Poland could addivas the Sov: t troopa. h.
