          MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD

          SUBJECT:  Meeting With WUSLAB/l7on  19 March 1970

               1.  PRODUCTION:  I phoned  WUSLAB/lon  17 March and we
          chatted for a time on recent  news from Bolivia.  A very pro-
          minent newspaper publisher and  his wife had b en killed by
          a bomb delivered in a package . f/1  had beer  n touch with
          Ambassador Sanjines who said  th t the military forces in the
          cabinet around General Valencia were  more inclined to take
  -  .    action to restore law and order.   Therer\ re various rumors
          about the motivation of the bombin   and V/  noticed the
     >    similiarities to the murder of  his former friend7in the MNR
          one month ago.

     -         2.  On the morning of  19 -March by prearrangement I went $
          out .to his house. His dau hter% who  has grown quite attractive,
          let me in and said that ier  fatherwas  waiting  or me upstairs.
          * We had a generalized conversation about history and about
          current events in Bolivia.   He thinks that the civilian members
          of the cabinet are on their way  out and that the military will
          replace them w' h civilian  technocrats of their own choosing.
          He draws - `1 e   with the government  of Villaroel, which was
          overturned by the mob.  That  government also had civilian
          elements including W/1's  father   They were forced out and
          eventually, the government was  overturned in violent fashion.

               3.  Plans:  I toldfYUSLAB/l  that I would phone him before
          next 25 March and set up  a time for a meeting on that day.  We
          will then go over the psychological  makeup of Viera.

         18Marchand reported that he was making a satisfactory recovery.
