THE PRESIDENT'S INTELLIGENCE CHECKLIST--7 JULY 1962
1. ALGERIA/MOROCCO:
A. THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT HAS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDED
ITS HOLD IN ALGERIA AS TROOPS LARGELY LOYAL TO BEN BELLA CONTINUE
TO CROSS INTO THE COUNTRY FROM TUNISIA AND MOROCCO.
B. SUSPICION IS GROWING THAT BEN BELLA MAY HAVE BOUGHT THE
SUPPORT OF KING HASSAN II BY PROMISING TO RECOGNIZE MOROCCO'S CLAIM
TO A PORTION OF ALGERIAN SAHARA WHICH IS IMPORTANT TO MOROCCO BE?
CAUSE IT OPENS A DIRECT WAY INTO MAURITANIA, MOST OF WHICH MOROCCO
CLAIMS. MOROCCAN FORCES LAST WEEK MOVED INTO THE TINDOUF AREA
CLAIMING THAT FERHAT ABBAS, WHEN HE WAS PREMIER, AGREED TO CEDE THE
AREA TO MOROCCO. THEY LATER WITHDREW, BUT THE STAKES ARE HIGH ENOUGH
IN ALGERIA SO THAT SUCH A CLAIM MIGHT NOW BE SUCCESSFULLY PRESSED.
ABBAS, NOW IN BEN BELLA 'S CAMP, HAS NOT COMMENTED SO FAR. BEN BELLA
IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE IN MOROCCO SHORTLY.
2. CONGO:
THE CONGOLESE PARLIAMENT YESTERDAY PASSED (72-2) A BILL CREATING
TWO PROVINCES (NORTH AND SOUTH) OUT OF KATANGA. THIS MOVE TO GIVE
SOME AURA OF LEGALITY TO ADOULA'S EFFORTS TO GAIN CONTROL OF NORTH?
ERN KATANGA MAKES IT CLEAR THAT ADOULA HAS NO INTENTION OF PURSUING
NEGOTIATIONS WITH TSHOMBE. THE ACTION COINCIDES WITH REPORTS OF A
RESUMPTION OF FIGHTING IN NORTH KATANGA, WHICH, AS TSHOMBE CHARGES,
WAS PROBABLY STARTED BY GOVERNMENT FORCES. WE ALSO SEE THE MOVE AS
AN EFFORT BY ADOULA TO STRENGTHEN HIMSELF AGAINST CABALS FORMING
AGAINST HIM IN ALMOST EVERY QUARTER.

3. PERU:
HAYA S PARTY CONVENTION REJECTED HIS OFFER TO BOW OUT, DECLAR?
ING THIS WOULD BE ILLEGAL; THE ISSUE, IT SAID IN A UNANIMOUS RESOLU?
TION, MUST BE LEFT TO THE NEW ASSEMBLY. THERE, AN ODRIA?HAYA COM?
PACT TO DEFEAT BELAUNDE SEEMS A LIKELY PROSPECT, IF THE MILITARY
CANNOT GET THE NATIONAL ELECTION BOARD TO BUY THEIR CHARGE OF MAS?
SIVE ELECTORAL FRAUD, THEY MAY DROP THEIR BACKING OF BELAUNDE AND
PREPARE TO INTERVENE IN THEIR OWN BEHALF,
4. LAOS:
THERE APPEARS LITTLE
PROSPECT FOR ANY AGREEMENT AT GENEVA ONA FORMULA FOR INTEGRATION AND
DEMOBILIZATION OF FORCES,

6. BRAZIL:
THE GOULART-CONGRESS IMPASSE CONTINUES AMID A DEVELOPING AT-
MOSPHERE OF UNREST. THE GENERAL STRIKE IN SUPPORT OF GOULART WAS
EFFECTIVE THOUGH NOW TAPERING OFF, SPECULATIVE WITHHOLDING OF GOODS
FROM THE MARKET HAS GENERATED A SHARP REACTION FROM CONSUMERS IN MA-
JOR CITIES. GOULART MUST NOMINATE A NEW PRIME MINISTER THIS WEEK-
END.

B. LAST MONTH'S MEETING OF THE BLOC 'S COUNCIL FOR MUTUAL ECO-
NOMIC ASSISTANCE (CEMA) HAS BEEN DESCRIBED IN THE POLISH PRESS AS AN
"EXTRAORDINARY SESSION." JUDGING FROM THE SPATE OF CEMA SUBCOMMIT-
TEE MEETINGS WHICH HAVE FOLLOWED, SOME FAIRLY WIDE-RANGING AND FUN-
DAMENTAL DECISIONS WERE MADE, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW YET WHAT THEY ARE.
