French Atomic Hoxplosion
QUESTION:
What effect will the French atomic explosion have on a solution
to the Algerian problem?
ANSWER:
The French atomic explosion and the Algerian rebellion are
basically unrelated. I believe the explosion of tne French atomic
bomb will have little effect on the ultimate solution.
QUESTION:
Will the explosion of the French atomic bomb stiffen support yw
for the Algerian rebels in neighboring countries?

REPRODUCED AT THE DWIGHTD. EISENHOWER LIBRARY
In my opinion, the explosion of the French atomic bomb will not
make these neighboring countries any less anxious to see a speedy
solution to the Algerian problem.
