?
1. Cyprus
2. Indonesia
a. Agreement has been reached
for gradually restoring freedom of
movement throughout the island, but
mutual distrust remains a consider-
able barrier to circulation.
b. The Turkish Cypriots remain
convinced that a return to the status
quo ante is impossible. They have
taken several steps toward the estab-
lishment of a separate de facto ad-
ministration in their sector of
Nicosia.
c. The conference opens next
Wednesday or Thursday in London.
It will be preceded by a meeting on
Monday of the Greek, Turkis4 and
British foreign ministers.
a. Sukarno has long planned
to go to Phnom Penh after his Manila
visit, and, as things now stand, he
will be doing so this weekend.
b. While there, he will prob-
ably try to enlist Sihanouk's help
in getting Maphilindo talks going
again.

3. France-Cambodia
c. Sihanouk would be more in-
clined toward Indonesia's position
in the dispute. He is not likely
to be very influential with the
Malaysians.
d. We now have word Sukarno
will almost certainly visit the US
in April to dedicate the Indonesian
exhibition at the World's Fair. No
doubt he will want to come to Wash-
ington.
a. The French have verified
Sihanouk's announcement that Messmer
offered Cambodia 20 AMX-13 tanks,
100 trucks, and 18 aircraft.
b. Twelve of the aircraft are
piston trainers and 6 are piston
transports.
C. This aid is a one-time gift,
not a continuing commitment. Our
embassy reports there are no provi-
sions for maintenance and support
costs, without which most of this
equipment will be unusable in six
months.
d. The Cambodians are nonethe-
less making much of it, and Sihanouk
will be even more convinced he is
on the right track.

e. We still do not know the
amount of technical and economic
aid to be included in the French
packages but the French have repeat-
edly asserted it will be modest.

NOTES
A. Angola We have confirmed that Foreign Minister
Chen Yi has offered arms to Holden Roberto, the most
prominent Angolan dissident leader, and invited him
to Peiping. Roberto, who feels the West is not put-
ting enough pressure on Portugal, may accept the of-
fer of help ?but probably will not go himself to
Peiping.
B. Greece The King has not yet dissolved parliament
and called for new elections. Perhaps he remains
hopeful for some other solution, but we doubt he
will find one. We still expect new elections to be
held next month.
C. West Indies At next week's West Indies "summit,"
U' amaica's Williams and Trinidad's Bustamente will
try to swerve Cheddi Jagan from his pro-Communist
orientation. Williams plans to propose a West Indies
economic association at this meeting and may try to
bring Jagan around by threatening to exclude him.
D. Mexico-USSR
50X1 'resident Mateos may visit the USSR before his
expires at the end of this year.
?E. Taiwan Straits
Soviet ships have transited the Taiwan Straits.
term
Apparently the Soviets feel that with Moscow-Peiping
relations bad, the Nationalists will leave their ships
alone.
F. India Press reports of Nehru's illness are probably
accurate.
