He stated that when the dismantling is completed the USSR will report to the Security Council and propose that a UN team then be sent to verify the dismantling. He as- serted that no UN team would be requ4red until the USSR reports to the Security Council. Kuznetsov made it clear, however, that the So- viet government would not permit UN teams to inspect incoming Soviet ships to verify that they were not car- rying offensive arms. He noted that Moscow would ac- cept such inspection b Red Cross representatives from neutral countries. Moscow's refusal to allow UN inspection of the� ac- tua dismantling of the missiles appears in part to be an attempt to avoid the establishment of a precedent which might later be made applicable in disarmament negotiations. Kuznetsov is maintaining a position on UN surveillance comparable to the Soviet position on disarmament inspection, which is that there be no in- spection over armaments, but only over disarmaTent and then only after the disarmament is completed.)

They could not, however, reach Havana if that is their destination. Information available as of 0300 EST today in- dicates that 4 other Soviet tankers, 3 other Soviet dry cargo vessels, and possibly another Satellite dry cargo vessel are en route to Cuba. The Soviet tanker Grozny has been halted since early on 28 October, just inside the quarantine line; the Soviet dry cargo vessel Belovodsk, halted on the morning of the 29th about 10 miles east of the line.' and the Czech dry cargo vessel Kladno, halted by 1700 EST 29 October about 60 miles east of the line 30 Oct 62 DAILY BRIEF 111 (b)(1) (b)(3) ET /, AApproved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646 (b)(3) ree, 1/4Approved for Release: 2017/01/24 CO3157646 1 /0 30 Oct 62 DAILY BRIEF iv ( b )( 1 ) (b)(3) NR TOP ET (I;;)(3) 4Approved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646" /41 Approved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646 2017/01/24 C03157646TIN Ch rt P ge 30 Oct 62 CApproved for Release: Approved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646 Noir t�t1/4��, tro (b)(3) 30 Oct 62 DAILY BRIEF V (b)(1) (b)(3) NR (b)(3): AApproved for Release: 2017/01/24 C0315764er A TO ET Approved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646 014, COMMUNIST CHINA/ INDIA BORDER AREAS 25660.

In the Chushul area and in the vicinity of the Kar- akoram Pass, where the Chinese appeared several days ago to have intruded sli htly beyond their claim, they have not pressed furt iGln the northeastern front, both sides seem to be preparing for further action north of the pass at Se La. Indian troops reportedly moved back into a village sev- eral miles north of the pass when the Chinese unex- pectedly withdrew, while to the east there is some sug. gestion that the Chinese are trying to outflank the pass. India's announcement that it has lost 2,500 soldiers --either killed or missing--is its first public admis- sion of the magnitude of its losses during the past ten day!) Goscow has apparently suspended further arrange- ments for Indian purchase of Soviet aircraft, including MIG-21s. India's recent order for 34 more MI-4 (Hound) cargo helicopters may also be held up. This decision provides further evidence to confirm Moscow's recent shift from an attitude of neutrality in the dispute, which was essentially anti-Chinese, to open support for the Chinese side. Nehru, however, probably has not yet abandoned hope of playing off Moscow against Peiping, calculating that Sino-Soviet differences will re-emerge as a result of Khrushchev's moves to settle the Cuban crisis. De- spite Nehru's realization that he will need increasing material support from the West, he probably will try to prevent any further deterioration in Indo-Soviet relations.

Friction has increased in the Brazil.n President Goulart's decision on 28 October to send the chief of his military cabinet, leftist General Albino Silva, to see Fidel Castro is likely to aggra- vate this friction. Many officers will view it as evidence that pro-Castro elements are gal fluence. Minister of War 'cruel, however, had earlier stat�publicly that Brazil supports the US quaran- tine of Cuba. This statement, according to the Brazilian press, is causing a controversy between Kruel and leftist officers, including the commander of the First Army in Rio de Janeiro. On this issue Kruel probably has the support of a majority of Brazilian general officers, who would probably en- dorse the transfer of leftist officers from command posts if the present tension reaches a breaking point. 30 Oct 62 DAILY BRIEF vii (b)(1) (b)(3) 4 TO (b)(3) AApproved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157/67" A Approved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646 ',or) 4L.01 V I.' .1.1.0.12*A4 �411.14 Noo, THE PRESIDENT The Vice President Executive Offices of the White House Special Counsel to the President The Special Assistant for National Security Affairs The Scientific Adviser to the President The Director of the Budget The Director, Office of Emergency Planning The Director, National Aeronautics and Space Administration The Department of State The Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Deputy Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Counselor and Chairman of the Policy Planning Council The Director of Intelligence and Research The Treasury Department The Secretary of the Treasury The Under Secretary of the Treasury The Department of Defense The Secretary of Defense The Deputy Secretary of Defense The Secretary of the Army The Secretary of the Navy The Secretary of the Air Force The Assistant Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs) The Assistant Secretary of Defense The Chairman, The Joint Chiefs of Staff Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Chief of Staff, United States Air Force Chief of Staff, United States Army Commandant, United States Marine Corps U.S. Rep., Military Committee and Standing Group, NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe Commander in Chief, Pacific The Director, Defense Intelligence Agency The Director, The Joint Staff The Director for Intelligence, The Joint Staff The Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of Army The Director of Naval Intelligence, Department of Navy The Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, Department of the Air Force The Department of Justice The Attorney General The Federal Bureau of Investigation The Director The Atomic Energy Commission The Chairman The National Security Agency The Director The United States Information Agency The Director The National Indications Center The Director C0.21DENTIAL Approved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646 pproved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646 7/ TOP SECRET ////////////, Approved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646W/ZZMWWW, Approved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646 __-,.sir,IN1111 Approved for Release: 2017/01/24 C03157646
