US protests closing of USIS in Yugoslavia--The State Department has instructed Ambassador Patterson to deliver personally to Tito a note protesting the closing of the USIS reading room in Belgrade. The note states that the US has fully explained the incident which offended the Yugoslav Government, and accordingly is “forced to the conclusion” that the closing involves the “wider issue” of whether Yugoslav authorities wish to deny the Yugoslav people the fundamental democratic freedom of access to information and opinions about other peoples. The US, in the hope that Tito will make a “constructive reply,” will not publicize the note “for the time being.” |
