CBS Evening News Report on Suriname – June 1, 1983

CIA-RDP91-00901R000400080001-8

Rather: CBS News today confirmed reports that President Reagan last December authorized and then abandoned a secret plan to overthrow the government of Suriname. CIA Director Casey backed that plan, believing that Suriname’s government was drifting into the Cuban orbit, but after a briefing, Senate and House members objected to the plan, and it was finally dropped.
