1. Kuwait situation
unchanged
2. Ulbricht presents
East German "peace
plan"
3. Strong Moslem
response to the?
Algerian rebels'
"day of struggle"
.4. Burma has decided
to accept delivery of
Soviet military air-
craft.
The anticipa -British reaction
has set in.
Highlights of initial press reporting;
a) "Everything will be peacful--but
there will be no delay";
b)West Berlin will be a "demilitarized,
neutral, free city" "neutral" appears
In the formula for the first time)
A French official has admitted that
Moslem support for the rebels is
"total." The rebels' resolve to
insist on the indivisibility and
territorial integrity of Algeria
will be stiffened; we expect more
militant use of the Moslems if the
French try to enforce partition.
Rebel leaders now doubt that talks
with the French will resume as soon
as 10 July,
The Soviet offer was apparently made?
last April during General Ne Win's
visit to the USSR.

5. Congo developments.
a) The-UN continues to push for a par-
liament meeting soon.
b) Leopoldville leaders are resisting,
unwilling to risk a vote when anti-
Gizengi forces are disunited.
c) Although Kasavubu has called
parliament for 15 July, the actual
meeting is likely to be further
postponed.
d) There are more reports of economic
difficulties in Stanleyville.
6. Phoumi will ask King Be-well to twang Prabang y s
to name new government. We expect the King--reluctant as al-
ways to,accept apolitical role--
would prefer to be presented with?a
government negotiated by the various
factions. The government post of
Muong Bo, north of Paksane, fell to
the Communists on Tuesday. MAP,

AYATCH COMMITTEE:CONCLUSIONS 5 July 1961
On the basis of findings by its Watch Committee, the
United States Intelligence Board concludes that:
No Sino-Soviet Bloc country intends to initiate direct
military action in the immediate future.
Laos: There are no developments indicative of a change
of Communist objectves or tactics with respect to Laos. The
ability of the Royal Laotian Government to maintain its cohesion
and determination to resist continues to be eroded.
Iraq-Kuwait: QasiM is unlikely to attempt military action
againsf Kuwait in the near future.
