153. Editorial Note
At the Operations Coordinating Board meeting on November 9, the Board made the following decision:
“It was agreed that subject to the provisions of NSC Action 2267c the Cambodians be informed that the US is prepared to provide jet training in response to their request, and should the Cambodians inquire, that they be told the provision of jet aircraft will be given sympathetic consideration at an appropriate time, without prejudice to source of supply.
“It was further agreed that the Departments of State and Defense would examine alternate Free World supply of jet aircraft to Cambodia on a grant, sale, or cost-sharing basis, recognizing that while such alternate source of supply might be desirable, it may be necessary to provide the aircraft from US sources.
“A memorandum reflecting the foregoing will be transmitted to the President after concurrence by the Secretaries of State and Defense.” (Notes by Charles E. Rogers, November 9; Department of State, OCB Files: Lot 62 D 430, Preliminary Notes IV)
