Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

This tape consists of an edited version of Tape Q 759<\/a>, and was even labeled as such by the people who recorded it: The full-length tape was described as \u201cApril 15 News\u201d; this is the same, with the parenthetical \u201c(Russian)\u201d afterwards.<\/p>\n

The contents of the tape comprise the portions of the news and commentary which pertain to the Soviet Union \u2013 including the arrival of Guyana\u2019s Prime Minister Forbes Burnham in the city of Leningrad at the beginning of a state visit \u2013 to the exclusion of everything else. Even the edit is not all-inclusive of Jones\u2019 discussion of the Russians, with the most significant omission being his reflections on the upcoming visit to Jonestown by a Tass reporter. For that reason, it is suspected that the tape was prepared to present to the Soviet journalist during his stay.<\/p>\n
