Finished the paper on the Rightist Revolution and Coup d’etat both for James Lowenstein and Richard Moose of the [J. William] Fulbright Foreign Relations Committee as well as for our confidential files.
Then met these two Amerjcans.
Received the report of Gov. [Murphy] Sangkula on Sulu. He asks for a military solution to the growing opposition to the government led by NPA [New People’s Army] leader Nurullaji “Nur” Misuari. The government troops in some places like Luuk are virtual prisoners in their camps.
I attach the report of the governor as well as the assessment by the Marine Commander, Commodore Rudiardo A. Brown. The latter also recommends military action.
So does Regional Director Mahmud B. Bagis.
