opinion Fgyptiau public opinion may nev ess ores the
to act against its better judgment. If there develops?a struggle
between Egypt and Israel,, the pressures in Iraq at the lower
levels of the population will be so intense that it will be
extremely difficult to keep Iraq off Israel's back. The elite
Iraqi may not agree with the masses but probably will be forced to
.go along with the anti-Israeli waar.
25X1 15, wondered if the traditional inter-Arab rivalries
would not rged during a time of Egyptian-Israeli conflict.
25X1 Loubted that even an Egyptian war against Israel could
overenaww the antagonisms within the Arab world. He admitted that
in the event of such a war the Arab states would be likely to
participate, with varying degrees of enthusiasm. However, Arab
rivalries would become most evident if the war went badly for Egypt.
In these circumstances the Iraqi might argue that their best contri-
bution to stabilising the situation would be to form a greater Syria.
16. The consultants were pessimistic about a peaceful resolution
of the I yption-Israeli difficulties. It was agreed that the Soviet
leaders have succeeded in opening a new area of conflict between the
US and the USSR, and that recent Soviet policy poses an extraordinarily
delicate and intricate problem for the US. said that if the 25X1
Israeli attack Egypt the USSR might achieve prestige gains by appealing
25X1 to the UN for an international force to put dose the aggression.,
oted that win or lose the Arabs will remember that they
received is from the Soviet Bloc and that the US armed Israel.
The consultants speculated that possibly an international "honest
broker" could be found to influence Israel against a belligerent
course of action. suggested that the USSR might indicate its
willingness to wit o arms from the Arabs in return for the
dismantling of US bases abroad*

V. NIE 100-745: WILD SITUATION AND LONGER TERM TRENDS (Staff Draft)
17. The consultants commented favorably an the Staff Draft as
a 'hole. However# there were numerous criticisms, regarding scope
and detail. In particular the consultants believed that the paper
tried to project too far into the future, ._AU agreed that more
attention should be paid to China and Indochina. believed25x1
that the draft over-estimated Bloc flexibility in fairly stable
areas such as Western Europe. He advocated toning down the paper's
concentration on Bloc policies in stable areas of the world. The
Bloc is unlikely to engage us in areas where the US is strong, but
around the periphery where we are weak. What, for example, is
going to be Soviet policy toward an aspiring world power like India?
Will not the leaders of India and Yugoslavia seek to take advantage
of the Soviet soft policy to go along on their ownL;:~agreed 25X1
that the draft should place much more emphasis on ively
backward world areas and on countries with neutralist ambitions.
also believed that the role of the neutral and backward states
should e further explored. The crisis is not yet upon us in Africa.
Should not the emtimate tell us more. about this area so that we can be
prepared? He would .also like to see concentration on the probable
our allies and what it will take to keep NATO a going concern.
ded that an omission was the possible effect of the erosion
es on the Satellites. doubted this since the now Soviet
policy is for export only. ? not anticipate internal diffi-
culties in the USSR if the Soviet leadership eventually decided to
reverse its policy. The change could be blamed on US
intransigencee thought that increased Soviet efforts to
"use" the UN might a developed somewhat.
25X1
18. protested that-the draft gives
the r thoutuncertainty and changes
elt that there should be more on the Soviet tactic of manip-
a little crises, especially in the Far East, so as to maximize
gains while inhibiting US action and contributing to a deterioration
of NATO or a dissipation of NATO resources. He added that in Europe
the USSR has little more that it can afford to give away, but grave
problems remain unresolved. The people-of Europe are likely to
become very much aware that on really big problems Soviet policy
continues to be inflexible.

lg egarded Indochina as an irresistible
opportunity for Communist Mna, and were very pessimistic regarding
the survival of South Vietnam. Both were agreed that the draft
should indicate that there is much greater Chinese interest in
Vietnam ( and a hi her degree of danger there) than in the offshore
islands. elieved.that the growing magnitude of the China
problem reqqxres re attention in the draft on Communist intentions
toward Southeast Asia.
