He has reserved the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare for Agudat Yisrael to try to tempt it into the government. The religious party Degel HaTorah and the rightwing Moledet faction supported Shamir without joining the government. Shamir, in presenting the government, pledged to move forward on the Arab-Israeli peace process but said Israel would not enter direct or indirect negotiations with the PLO. The new government's guidelines call for more Jewish settlements in the occupied territories and, to satisfy a rightwing coalition partner, consideration of electoral reforms within three months. They also call for the passage of new religious legislation, including a ban on the sale of pork. Comment: Despite his pledge to advance the peace process; Shamir is not likely to engage in an Israeli-Palestinian dialogue. His government undoubtedly will start settlements in the occupied territories and probably will respond harshly to attacks on Israel by the PLO or other Palestinian groups. Although Shamir's new government might be toppled by internal legislative battles, it has significant ideological cohesion and may survive until the end of its term. Agudat Yisrael's entry into the coalition would stren then Shamir's abilit to weather in disagreements.

USSR: Kirghizis Try Conciliation The Osh security commander claims to have nearly full control of his region. Frunze, the republic capital, remains calm, and Kirghiz authorities yesterday were opening a conciliation campaign. A Moscow party official was coordinating activities of a commission to restore order and seek the causes of the ethnic violence. Since republic Premier Dzhumgulov and Uzbek Premier Mirsaidov met on Saturday in Osh, joint Kirghizi-Uzbek appeals for peace have been issued by prestigious cultural figures and local leaders. Comment: Maintaining stability in the impoverished and ethnically mixed Fergana Valley probably will require a prolonged period of heightened security. A main challenge to official interrepublic cooperation will be protecting the 500,000 Uzbeks in Kirghiziya's Osh Oblast and the 70,000 Kirghizis in Uzbekistan's Andizhan Oblast to keep them from becoming refugees in the already overcrowded region. 3 "TairSeeret- 12 June 1990 T-1,4ern4-- 4 ?ftrp-Semt- 12 June 1990 a; I I It LI I LI -111T"Seeret--..._ 12 June 1990 OD BURMA: Japan Cautious on Aid Tokyo is unlikely to give Rangoon large-scale aid until the military regime undertakes serious economic reform and transfers power to a civilian government, Tokyo is also requiring Burma to pay debt arrears of some $140 million. Japan is Burma's largest bilateral donor; in 1983 Ja anese-funded programs totaled $260 million. Tokyo may be willing to head an international donors group to help Rangoon use foreign aid more effectively. Comment: The military regime probably hoped that last month's National Assembly election would encourage Tokyo to resume its full aid program quickly. Burma critically needs foreign aid to revive the economy, and Tokyo's new conditions may help persuade the regime to take steps to transfer power to the opposition National League for Democracy. The IMF and the World Bank, which have also insisted that Burma demonstrate a commitment to economic reform before they begin new projects, probably would join an international aid group 5 ?1-01Y-Seefet- 12 June 1990 ,_i 1 I ?I I LI rSeer-et?_ BULGARIA: Opposition Protesting Communists' Victory More than 100,000 people demonstrated yesterday against the projected election victory of the Bulgarian Socialist Party. Announcement of official results has been postponed until today to give investigators time to look into allegations of electoral fraud. Leaders of the Union of Democratic Forces, the main opposition coalition, however, say they will not demand a new election unless more serious violations are uncovered. Several UDF leaders have repeated past pledges not to join the BSP in coalition and to stay united in opposition. Comment: More opposition demonstrations are likely as UDF leaders try to stir up support for party candidates in runoff races on Sunday, but serious violence is not likely. The intimidation and fraud that occurred do not appear to have been key to the BSP victory. If UDF It-aders stand firm against joining thc Communists in a coalition, the BSP may be forced into an early election, possibly for failure to get the needed two-thirds support of the Assembly to pass a new constitution. 6 12 June 1990 0i "TrIrStTlet-- 12 June 1990 I, I In Brief Middle East USSR East Asia Europe ?

Special Analysis PERU: Fujimori's Challenges in Consolidating Power Despite his apparent landslide victory in Sunday's presidential runoff Alberto Fujimori will have a fragile hold on power as he tries to placate disgruntled citizens, a splintered legislature. and the finery military. Unperturbed by criticism of his vague policy statements, Fujimori said he will detail his plans only after the inauguration on 28 July. Nonetheless, he underlined his intent to reintegrate Peru in the international community, to pay the foreign debt, and to strengthen relations with other nations of the Pacific rim. Hinting that his ethnic Japanese heritage would attract increased aid from Tokyo, Fujimori said he wants to tkavei there this month. A Japanese Government spokesman, however, re7ated that Fuiimori's victory will not influence the level of aid. Fujimori criticized Lima's antidrug efforts for emphasizing "repressive" enforcement measures and implied that coca growers must be offered economic incentives to switch to legitimate crops. He did not rule out acceptin forei n milita aid but o os s h presence of foreign troops. II During the campaign, Fujimori failed to specify alternatives to his opponent's proposed economic shock program, which he repeatedly attacked; his electoral showing thus may have been largely an anti?Vargas Llosa vote. His mandate could crumble quickly if public expectations for a quick, nainless economic turnaround 20 unmet Fujimori may fare little better in the fragmented legislature. His centrist coalition probably can draw congressional support from the right and the left. But the new government may run afoul of Vargas Llosa's center-right coalition, which holds a plurality in both houses, if it proposes legislation reminiscent of the economic gradualism of President Garcia's discredited center-left party. Moreover, Garcia's party, which discreetly backed Fujimori in the runoff campaign, probably would quickly join Fujimori's critics at the first hint of failure. -"Irlirjeeret-- 9 12 June 1990 1 -I I 11 I -I Li I I Li -1111T-Sesget. 12 June 1990 10 12 June 1990 I'MrSeerst- 170-Secret- 12 June 1990 .
