DAILY BRIEF
6 AUGUST 1966
1. South Vietnam
2. Philippines
3. Soviet Union
Ky has assured Ambassador Lodge
that he will say no more about marching
?north. In his speech in the Philippines
next week Ky will discuss the nature of
"revolutionary war." If questioned, Ky
intends to say his goal is the independ-
ence of South Vietnam.
When President Marcos comes to Wash-
ington next month he may well have a
draft revision of our mutual defense
Agreement in his hip pocket. -The pres-
ent agreement was signed in 1953 and
gives us our base rights in the Philip- .
pines. Marcos is not seeking any drastic
changes but, for domestic political rea-
sons, he wants to go home with our agree-
ment to renegotiate.
A Soviet nuclear submarine is prowl-
ing near Bermuda. This is farther west
than Russian submarines normally operate
but they are not complete strangers to
the area. In late 1965, for instance,
one was detected snooping around the
Gemini 6 and 7 recovery zone.
The Soviets have three types of nu-
clear submarines--two that carry missiles
and one for torpedo attack. There is
some reason to suspect the one now off
Bermuda may be the type equipped with
eight 450-mile air-breathing cruise mis-
siles.

4. Dominican Republic
5. Morocco
? The Russians Said "nyet" when the
Moroccan foreign minister raised the
question of getting Soviet -arms during
a recent Moscow visit. However, Ambas-
sador Tasca,in Rabat is concerned lest
the Soviets rethink this one and try
some sort of proposition playing on Mo-
rocco's apprehension of Algeria's grow-
ing military strength. Tasca thinks the
king is too smart to get hooked-but he
may be sorely tempted.
