1. On 15 June 1961, Admiral Elliott B. Strauss, Us0M Director in
Tananarive had suggested to Minister Resampa that U. S. experts could do
a reconnaissance survey to find out the actual Malagasy requirements in
the security field. Minister Resampa acquiesced, urging that such
experts be sent as soon as possible, since he intended to reorganize
the Police Department by January 1962 (TOICA A-94, June 15, 1961)­
2. In consequence, a message was sent to USOM/Tananarive on 30
August 1961 in which ICA/W stated that a Public Safety Team was being
organized to conduct the survey.
