The Security Situation in Uruguay
(Situation Report Number 33)
1. No new information has been received that
would change the conclusion reached in Special National
Intelligence Estimate 98-67, SECURITY CONDITIONS IN
URUGUAY, 23 March 1967.
4,. Considerably less antisummit activity has
been noted in Montevideo since the incidents of
7 April. Nothing has marred the peaceful atmosphere
at Punta del Este.

5, Security at El Jaguel airport near Punta del
Este is excellent. The air force claims to be pre-
pared to shoot down any plane which is not properly
registered, as well as any that deviates from its flight
plan.
6., The Communist-sponsored youth march from
Montevideo to the Maldonado area near Punta del Este
is continuing peacefully. The Maldonado "Anti-Imper-
ialist Committee" plans to welcome the marchers in
small towns along the route on both 10 and 11 April.
There are also plans for a welcoming demonstratio-n in
Maldonado on 12 April, but police have refused the
marchers permission to enter the city of Maldonado.
8. Elsewhere, Ecuador's Communist-controlled
labor confederation, supported by the Communist-dom-
inated student federations, has called for a general
strike on 13 April. Although the strike is not di-
rectly related to the summit, some antisummit agita-
tion may occur. At any rate, it seems likely that
concern over the possibility of a strike, and fear of
political maneuvering by his rivals during his absence
are the real reasons for President Arosemena's inclina-
tion not to go to Punta del Este.
