Memorandum of Conversation, Washington, May 5, 1969
Abstract
Washington, May 5, 1969
In a meeting with Special Coordinator Clyde Ferguson, Ambassador Iyalla stated that the Cross River surface corridor was all right in principle. However, the Federal Military Government opposed two more C-97s for church groups involved in relief, and airdrops would be acceptable only if inspected first in Lagos.
