For the Record

Informed sources say the reason Great Britain moved into Jordan so rapidly is that she had received an ultimatum from Israel. “Either you go in,” she was told, “or we will.”

The uproar over CIA’s most recent failure —in Iraq—probably won’t result in legislation to establish a congressional watchdog committee over that agency this year. But sponsors of the proposed legislation are confident such a measure will be enacted in the next session. . . . Communist influence within the CIA is discounted as a serious factor in its failures, which derive from the fact that it is an unmonitored bureaucracy with unlimited funds, which has been free for a decade to play at king-making (but not saving) abroad, in secrecy and without congressional or public scrutiny, approval or knowledge. . . . Fidel Castro now is reported to have radio-telephone linkage not only with clandestine rebel stations in Mexico and other neighboring countries but with the official Venezuelan Radio-Continente.
