DAILY BRIEF
28 SEPTEMBER .1966
1. Vietnam
2. Communist China
3. Communist China
All Manila newspapers this morning
headlined the announcement that Presi-
dent Johnson will attend the Manila con-
ference. Some papers billed the confer-
ence as a "Summit Meeting," and there
was a tendency to depict it as a personal
diplomatic triumph for Marcos.
The South Koreans seem to be moving
fast to thrust themselves into the thick
of things. Their foreign minister has
already asked his Vietnamese counterpart
to come to Seoul to discuss "questions
relevant to the conference."

The Soviets want to avoid overfly-
ing Chinese territory on their flights
to Hanoi. The Soviet charg?n Laos
told Premier Souvanna this morning that
for this reason Moscow would like to
route these flights by way of New Delhi,
Rangoon, and over ?Laotian territory to
Hanoi. Souvanna said he would consider
the Soviet request, which he told Ambas-
sador Sullivan he "presumed" would in-
volve Soviet commercial, not military,
aircraft.
Only a small quantity of the aid
Moscow provides Hanoi comes by air. The
bulk of it still comes overland through
China, where it has been subjected to
delays and harassment. One effect of a
new air route circumventing China would
be to obviate the kind of embarrassment
to which high Soviet officials have been
subjected during their refueling stops
in China en route to and from North
Vietnam.
