Intercepted Indonesian messages indicate that regular army units will shortly begin infiltration operations across the border into Sarawak and Sabah.c. Seven thousand regular army troops in Indonesian Borneo, the messages show, are getting an intensified course in guerrilla tactics. This training is to be completed next month.d. Other messages speak of the arrival, beginning today, of a battalion of regulars from West Java. (INTERCERPTS throughout)3. Venezuelaa. The weekend was marred only by sporadic and minor acts of terrorism in several cities. Government security forces have the situation generally under control.b. The Venezuelan Air Force is stepping up its efforts to track down and destroy intruder aircraft. The Venezuelans are convinced that planes have been ferrying supplies to pro-Castro guerrillas in the mountains of the northwest.For The President Only - Top Secret(Cont'd)

4. Iraqa. The air of tension in Bagh-dad dissipated somewhat after the government lifted the curfew and once again permitted private vehicles on the streets.b. Neither the city nor its new rulers are, however, at ease. Troops are still very much in evi-dence.c. The new regime apparently is not convinced that the hard core of the Baath Party and its paramili-tary supporters have been put down for good.c. The Betancourt government has scheduled a press conference tomorrow to break the story that a three-ton cache of Cuban arms has been unearthed. A formal accusation against Cuba is to be made before the Organization of American States a week from today.(Includes INTERCEPTS)5. Syriaa.

Premier-designate Moro expects that the program for a "center-left" coalition government will be approved today by the four parties involved.b. Details of the foreign policy planks are not yet available, but they were drafted with the thought that the death of President Kennedy makes it more important for Italy to play an active role within the Western alliance.c. After the program has been approved, the final selection of a cabinet can be undertaken. This could take the rest of the week.For The President Only - Top Secret

E. Australia - Communist China Peiping has signed contracts for just over one million tons of Australian grain to be delivered early next year. We had been expecting the Chinese Communists to enter the market, since they had another mediocre grain crop this year. Peiping has been buying close to five million tons of grain for the past several years.F. Congo We hear that the Soviet Embassy in Leopoldville had booked 75 places on a flight to Brussels last Saturday. There is still no information on whether any Soviet Embassy officials have actually departed, however.G. Berlin There was no new harassment of Allied access routes to Berlin over the weekend. A total of 16 flares were fired last evening near Tempelhof Airfield, but we connect these with Communist efforts to prevent escapes from East Berlin. East German police were observed stringing barbed wire in the same area a short time later.H. Laos The neutralists claim to have made significant gains in their limited offensive in the Vang Vieng area. They have not, however, been able to dislodge the Pathet Lao from positions within artillery range of the town's airport. (Includes INTERCEPTS)For The President Only - Top Secret

1. Iraq-Syriaa. The shaky new accommodation between the two countries following the recent coup in Iraq has been threatened by Syria's action in' granting asylum to Ali Saleh Saadi, the exiled leader of the extremist wing of the Iraqi Baath.b. Saadi had arrived in Syria unannounced following a brief stay in Madrid. On Friday, Iraq sent a message asking Syria to expel him on grounds that sheltering him was a breach of agreement.c. Both regimes continue to be troubled with internal dissension with affairs in one deeply tangled with those in the other.d. In Syria, as we mentioned yesterday, the Baathist regime is split between moderates who desire a broadening of the government's power base, and a doctrinaire faction which wants to keep all control of the government in Baathist hands.e. In Iraq, the pull is more away from the Baathists. Two ministers have threatened to resign unless the government adopts an openly pro-Egyptian policy. Nevertheless the government feels secure enough to ease up on curfew and transport restrictions imposed since the coup.For The President Only - Top Secret(Cont'd)

2. Laosf. Iraq has announced that the military union with Syria remains in force, and that a new commander of the joint armies will be announced soon.(Includes INTERCEPTS)a. Intercepted neutralist messages on Sunday reported that government forces had finally secured Vang Vieng and its airfield, long held by the Pathet Lao. They also told of the capture of Ban Namone farther south on Route 13.b. The neutralist, rightist Lao Army, and Meo tribal guerrilla forces hope to sustain their coordinated clearing action until remaining Pathet Lao pockets in this area north of Vientiane are cleared.c. Such operations in Laos have often been followed by a Communist riposte. We have a few indicators that something could be up on the Communist side, but these are so far very tenuous indeed.d. One such indicator is a stand down in the last two weeks on the Hanoi-controlled military communications net in Laos which could(Cont'd)For The President Only - Top Secret

3. South Vietnam   point to a change in the disposition or strength of Communist forces. Other enemy nets are normal.   e. There are also unconfirmed reports of North Vietnamese troop reinforcements in the Plaine des Jarres. (INTERCEPTS)   a. According to press reports, Viet Cong attacks on Sunday wiped out two of the government's strategic hamlets in the central highlands about 250 miles north of Saigon.   b. More than 1,000 inhabitants in the hamlets--who are minority tribesmen--are missing and possibly have fled into the mountains. They abandoned a significant quantity of weapons to the Viet Cong.   c. These attacks not only suggest continued erosion of the government's programs to win over tribal support, but also signal that stepped-up Viet Cong pressure against the new regime is spreading to the north.(Cont'd)For The President Only - Top Secret

4. USSRd. This Communist effort is aimed at discrediting the post-Diem regime before the new leadership is able to get its feet on the ground and capture the loyalty and respect of people in the provinces.e. Although the Viet Cong still continues to draw its main strength from local recruiting, a steady stream of cadre and training personnel continues to make its way to the south from North Vietnam along the Laotian border.f. We are now reasonably sure that at least 784 persons infiltrated from the north during 1963 and the actual total may be much higher.a. There have been no further developments in Soviet preparations for a series of extended range ICBM shots to the Pacific.b. We probably should have had by now an announcement closing an area roughly 500 miles south of Johnston Island to shipping. We suspect the Soviets may have delayed it in order not to appear to be rattling rockets immediately after President Kennedy's death.(Cont'd)For The President Only - Top Secret
[177-10002-10097.pdf — page 9]
5. USSR-Berlinc. The USSR may repeat last year's performance of multiple firings from a prototype operational complex at Tyuratam. Three such launchings were attempted at five-minute intervals in May 1963; two succeeded.d. We also do not rule out the possibility of firings from operational sites as opposed to the test center at Tyuratam. We observed the first such firing on 22 October from the Plesetsk site, roughly 400 miles northeast of Moscow.(Includes INTERCEPTS)a. Embassy Bonn feels that the Soviet Union may be seeking at least a temporary modus vivendi on the autobahn without prejudicing its juridical position, which can be used to cause difficulties there in the future.b. The embassy bases this on the Soviet replies to the Western notification to the USSR on 29 October regarding harmonized convoy procedures--two oral statements on 16 November and a note of 21 November.(Cont'd)For The President Only - Top Secret
[177-10002-10097.pdf — page 10]
6. Brazilc. The Soviet note was designed to make a record, showing that the USSR exercises "control" of the auto- bahn and that the recent incidents resulted from US refusal to comply with "existing procedures."d. On the other hand, the Soviet procedures described in the oral re- plies seem to reflect actual Allied practices, though there is enough ambiguity to afford the USSR flexi- bility in any future actions.a. The danger of an immediate coup against the Goulart regime has receded with the reported decision of Second Army Commander General Bevilaqua not to join the coup plot- ters.b. Bevilaqua, who has been some- thing of a storm center, may have been asked to hand over his command today as part of a series of reassign- ments made by President Goulart to keep the military off balance.c. On the other side of the coin, there is widespread belief that Goulart himself will at some time resort to a coup to establish an authoritarian regime.(Cont'd)For The President Only - Top Secret
[177-10002-10097.pdf — page 11]
d. As one example Raneiri Mazzilli, President of the Chamber of Deputies and next in line for the presidency, told Ambassador Gordon on Saturday that he profoundly mistrusts Goulart's intentions and intends to maintain the strictest congressional vigilance.e. Our station in Brazil believes that Goulart is living in a dream world. He seems either out of touch with reality or very poorly informed. Public opinion is not with him and the tradition that political power should only be transferred constitutionally is very strong in the army, coup reports notwithstanding.f. The biggest danger from this quarter is that the opposition may resort to some illegal act, giving Goulart the excuse to take over.For The President Only - Top Secret

NOTESA. Ethiopia-Congo Haile Selassie has acceded to our ambassador's request and is rescinding his earlier decision to withdraw the 1,743-man Ethiopian contingent from the UN force in the Congo.B. Communist China - Africa The Guinean ambassador in Peiping has it unofficially that Premier Chou En-lai will leave in mid-December for a tour of some Afro-Asian countries. He is to stop first in Egypt and then visit several other African countries including Guinea, Ghana, and Mali, Chou would be the highest ranking Chinese leader ever to visit Africa. (INTERCEPTS)C. Indonesia-Philippines Two good sources have reported that President Sukarno plans to go to Manila this Thursday to confer with Philippine President Macapagal. No reasons have been advanced for the visit. Our chargé guesses that it is an Indonesian move to head off Philippine recognition of Malaysia.D. Venezuela The terrorists have struck again, this time firing six US-owned oil and gas pipelines near the northeastern city of Puerto la Cruz. The elections are still on for Sunday, and we look for a maximum effort from the pro-Castro terrorist organization.E. Congo We now have word that 49 members of the Soviet Embassy, including dependents, left Leopoldville on Saturday aboard a Sabena flight for Brussels. They are expected to book onward passage for Moscow. It is reported that the Congolese will allow one Russian without diplomatic status to stay to look after Soviet property.For The President Only - Top Secret

High-altitude photography taken this past weekend shows these tents at six SAM sites in western Cuba. These sites are in addition to those at which we noted the presence of Cuban interpreters as we reported on Saturday.c. This training should be completed by next May or June.d. Just before the training started, we noted a series of moves involving the relocation of eight of the SAM sites.e.
