{"value"=>"<p>This series comprises reports usually signed or addressed to the serving chief of staff (Chef d'Etat-Major Général, CHEMG) who was the highest ranking military official after President Duvalier, Chef Suprême et Effectif des Forces Armées d'Haïti (equivalent to \"Commander-in-Chief\" in the context of U.S. executive powers). Two CHEMGs are represented: Roger Saint-Albain (who served in this role until 1984) and Henri Namphy (who served in this role until 1986). Although the series mostly relates to general administrative matters such as a list of invitees to the Cadet Commission Ceremony, it also holds documents related to international affairs including an invitation to the XIV Conference of American Armies, a letter to the U.S. College of InterAmerican Defense expressing Haiti's interest to enlist students, and a copy of a statement made by Israeli Major General Yehoshua Saguy. It also holds a few records of military investigations including several reports of a telephone fraud case involving a Haitian army officer named Patrick Desire and the U.S. military, and another report regarding a collaborative effort between the Haitian police and some agents of the United States' Federal Bureau Investigations.</p>"}
