WHEREAS THE UNITED STATES had achieved its foreign policy objective in British Guiana by the end of 1964, it could not assume its victory was complete. Demographic developments favored Indians and the PPP. Cheddi Jagan and his party could possibly win 50 percent of the vote in the next election in an independent Guyana. Over the next four years, the Johnson administration would focus on bolstering Forbes Burnham and the PNC and sustaining the U.S. war against Jagan and the PPP. U.S. officials would conclude that the imperatives of the Cold War required that the United States overlook Prime Minister Burnham’s destruction of democracy in Guyana.
