MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE THE DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

I am attaching a copy of Presidential Directive/NSC-59 for your information and appropriate but close-hold use. A small part of the pre-planned options section has been deleted because it contains sensitive information █████████████ not normally held outside the Department of Defense and the White House. This small deletion in no way alters the sense and content of the remainder of the directive. Zbigniew Brzezinski
