MEMORANDUM 13 THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON SECRET -- GDS June 21, 1978 MEMORANDUM FOR ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI FROM: Paul B. Henze SUBJECT: Evening Report Daily Activities: Intelligence-related Activities: Followed up on yesterday's SCC, called working group meeting on Soviet nationalities for this Friday morning; prepared Summary Conclusions of yesterday's SCC (kept it very lean). (S) Horn: Reviewed upcoming Reader's Digest article on Horn which Dimi Panitsa brought -- it was pretty overdone and unnecessarily critical of the Administration; I hope I persuaded him to moderate (or kill) it. (C) Ambassador Fred Chapin called to say he was disturbed at fact that DOD is going ahead with plan to send military survey team to Somali 2nd week of July -- he thinks it should be held up; I am taking this up with State and DOD; team should not be sent without full review of all its implications. (S) Worked on Kenya military report -- there is disagreement between State and DOD over advisory presence, which DOD feels is necessary (and I think is psychologically desirable, on small scale, as demonstration to Kenyans that we want to help them and let it be known that we are doing so) and State, which seems to feel that we should have no military presence at all in Kenya. I still detact a marked lack of enthusiasm in State for the Kenya program in all respects. (s) GTC: Helped Madeleine in preparations for tomorrow's Presidential session with Greek Americans. Okayed Presidential message to Karamanlis on Greek earthquake (in Thessaloniki -- widespread medium-serious property damage; little in way of lost lives or drastic property damage). (U) Radios: Found on checking into Jack Anderson column on VOA censorship of Katyn story that it is all too true; at fault is deputy chief of VOA's Polish desk, said to be a very limited man. Peter Strauss had had twelve protest calls
