The bloc is probably prepared to increase its military commitments within Laos to the extent required to counter such outside military support as might be provided to the Phoumi forces.\n\nThe Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of the Army, would omit the last two sentences for the following reasons: 1) The content of these two sentences is estimative in nature and thus beyond the purview of the Watch Charter. 2) The statements prejudge conditions which may not actually arise. 3) There is insufficient intelligence information to justify the statements made in the next to last sentence, and there is no intelligence information to support the assertion contained in the last sentence.\n\nThe Director for Intelligence, Joint Staff, is in agreement that the bloc probably prefers that the Laotian conflict not be expanded beyond its present scale but does not believe sufficient evidence exists to warrant the conclusion that the minimum bloc objective is the achievement of a \"neutralized\" Laos. The Director for Intelligence, Joint Staff, further believes that the conclusion that the bloc is probably prepared to increase its military commitments in Laos to the extent required to counter such outside military support as might be provided to the Phoumi forces cannot be supported by available information.\n\n5 Jan 61 DAILY BRIEF v\nTOP SECRET\nApproved for Release: 2020/08/11 C02000168","text_extracted_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:16.761Z","text_source":"ocr","width":2544},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KK2FRNHE83B5DQV220YSCDMN","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KK2FMPQS3KX59D7G345X3DZD","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"}],"ver":3,"created_at":"2026-03-06T21:11:05.888Z","ts":"2026-03-06T21:11:17.074Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KJ6WQDQ0QRVG1VP5BJFBRG9N"}}
