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

Although this is a news tape \u2013 as Jim Jones reads the news for September 16, 1978 \u2013 more than three-fourths of it is a continuation of the reading of the geographies, histories and economic systems of the nations of the world. This day\u2019s entries are Somalia and the Soviet Union, that latter of which, as Jones says as a prefatory remark, \u201cfor whatever reasons, are on the right side of liberation causes.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are only a few other stories which Jones touches upon. There is a lengthy piece from Guyana Broadcasting about the ways in which the nation\u2019s constitution \u2013 newly-approved in a referendum \u2013 will be implemented. The improvement include those in the nation\u2019s health system, with an emphasis on bringing in more medical doctors.<\/p>\n

The other major story is the news coming out of a conference of Africa\u2019s foreign ministers. Zambia has called for a new Pan-African Unity peace-keeping force which will counter US imperialism and which would only go to war with the remaining white minority governments, specifically Union of South Africa and Rhodesia. There is also discussion of Somalia wanting Cubans expelled from Africa because of its aggression, but other nations accuse Somalia itself of being an aggressor. Somalia also wants Cuba to be barred from the upcoming gathering of non-aligned nations, due to its alliance with the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

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

Date of transcription: 6\/11\/79<\/p>\n

In connection with the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s investigation into the assassination of U.S. Congressman LEO J. RYAN at Port Kaituma, Guyana, South America, on November 18, 1978, a tape recording was obtained. This tape recording was located in Jonestown, Guyana, South America, and was turned over to U.S. Officials in Guyana and subsequently transported to the United States.<\/p>\n

On May 30, 1979, Special Agent (name deleted) reviewed the tape numbered 1B93-9. This tape was found to contain the following:<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s news by Rev. JIM JONES to People\u2019s Temple members in Jonestown, Guyana.<\/p>\n

This tape was reviewed and nothing was contained thereon which was considered to be of evidentiary nature or beneficial to the investigation of the murder of Congressman RYAN.<\/p>\n
