OCCURRENCE: COLBY stated in response to the difficulty for the United States once it has sought to accomplish objectives through foreign nationalists to control the actions of the foreign nationalists, that "Certainly the foreigner makes his own decisions at various times, the degree to which he is going to do one thing or the other. The U.S. cannot control it. The U.S. can assist them, the U.S. can counsel him and advise him, perhaps influence him, but the control, that is...when you are dealing with essentially another sovereign, why there are limits to your degree of authority over them." p. 76
