...funds and draft-exemption for its participants, a proposed program would field or waived, few students would have to meet the standards of the Federal agency. The foundations, however, would be responsible for negotiating with foreign leaders, as some now are doing, about projects in a given country. Thus, Guinea could accept a mission from a U.S. educational foundation-perhaps a group of teachers-without appearing to submit to U.S. "imperialism...
...understand the problem of Algeria, Hoffmann maintained, one must understand the "psychological obstinacy" of French President de Gaulle. The French President has demonstrated in Madagascar, in the Ivory Coast and in Guinea that he is willing to permit colonial liberation--on the condition that France grant the liberation without pressure from internal revolutions, Hoffmann said...

But Western officials happily noted that Guinea has also just concluded a credit agreement with Britain and a trade pact with West Germany. And a fortnight after the U.S. agreement was signed, Guinea's President Touré rose in the U.N. Assembly to criticize Khrushchev's bullying, shoe-thumping tactics. Added up, it all revived the hopes of many that the Red tint in Sékou Touré's cloak...
