THE COMMUNIST BLOC *Warsaw Pact Meeting: The declaration adopted on 4 February by the Warsaw Pact members meeting in Mos- cow suggests that the main purpose of the meeting was to provide a demonstration of Bloc solidarity and support for the USSR's positions on questions that Khrushchev has pro- posed for discussion at the summit conference in May. The generally moderate declaration hailed Moscow's decision to reduce its forces but stopped short of announcing any reduc- tions in Eastern European satellite forces or in Soviet forces stationed in these countries. A summary of the communique issued simultaneously hinted at further moves in this direc- tion, however, by stating that the Pact members had "co- ordinated their future actions" toward "consolidating the re- laxation of international tensions." Khrushchev's speech to the conference, which has not yet been published, may pro- vide more specific indications of Bloc initiatives prior to thp summit meeting. II. ASIA-AFRICA India-USSR: Soviet President Voroshilov's 18-day visit to India--from 20 January to 5 February--has had little im- pact. His party of about 70, including First Deputy Premier Kozlov, First Deputy Foreign Minister Kuznetsov, and Pre- sidium member Mme. Furtseva, made an extensive tour of the country. Indian officials and the press went through the motions of welcome and entertainment but without enthusiasm. To Indian officials, the forthcoming visit of Khrushchev and the possibility that he will contribute to settling the Sino-Indian 25X1 25X1 W% I Approved For Release 2005/05/17 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO04900290001-6 j Approved Fore eas - 40001-6 25X1 Burma: Tomorrow?s parliamentary elections will return Burma from military to civil control.

ASIA-AFRICA Burmese Parliamentary Election Prospects Burmese voters go to the polls on 6 February to select a new civilian government to succeed the incumbent military regime of Premier Ne Win. The army, which assumed pow- er in October 1958 because the government had disintegrated following a split in the ruling Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League (AFPFL), is voluntarily relinquishing office to the politicians. Active army personnel are not standing for of- fice. The two major parties in the election are the "Clean" AFPFL under former Premier U Nu and the "Stable" AFPFL headed by his former deputies, Ba Swe and Kyaw Nyeine In- formed opinion predicts that the "Clean" party will carry a majority of the 250 constituencies. In the absence of major policy issues, the personality of U Nu is expected to be the determining factor. Independents and candidates of the Com- munist-dominated National United Front and various ethnic minority parties are expected to win relatively few seats. A Nu victory may create some difficulties in Western relations with Burma. Under Ne Win's regime there has been a slight swing toward the West, but U Nu is a strict neutral- ist. He has bitterly accused the West, and the United States in particular, of financing his opposition. 5 Feb 60 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN Page 1 Approved For Release 2005/05/17 : CIA-RDP79T00975A004900290001-6 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/05/17 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO04900290001-6 Approved For Release 2005/05/17 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO04900290001-6 25X1 Approved Fore se 2005/05/17 : CIA-RDP79T00975A00490029p001-6 '%w I THE PRESIDENT The Vice President Executive Offices of the White House Special Assistant for National Security Affairs Scientific Adviser to the President Director of the Budget Director, Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization Director, National Aeronautics and Space Administration Special Assistant for Security Operations Coordination Chairman, Board of Consultants on Foreign Intelligence Activities Special Assistant for Foreign Economic Policy Executive Secretary, National Security Council The Treasury Department The Secretary of the Treasury The Department of State The Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State The Under Secretary for Political Affairs The Deputy Under Secretary for Administration The Counselor Director, International Cooperation Administration The Director of Intelligence and Research The Department of Defense The Secretary of Defense The Deputy Secretary of Defense Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs The Secretary of the Army The Secretary of the Navy The Secretary of the Air Force The Chairman, The Joint Chiefs of Staff Commandant, United States Marine Corps The Director, The Joint Staff Chief of Staff, United States Army Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Chief of Staff, United States Air Force Assistant to Secretary of Defense for Special Operations Director for Intelligence, The Joint Staff Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of Army Director of Naval Intelligence, Department of Navy Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, Department of the Air Force Supreme Allied Commander, Europe Commander in Chief, Pacific The Department of Commerce The Secretary of Commerce Federal Bureau of Investigation The Director Atomic Energy Commission The Chairman National Security Agency The Director National Indications Center The Director 25X1 Approved For Release 2005/05/17 : CIA-RDP79T00975A004900290001 6 Approved Fof%IeaOP/OSEClIE779TOO97 OO4900290001-6 -4= O'/ TOP SECRET Approved For Release 2005/05/17 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO04900290001-6
