American economic development plan, "Operation Pan Ameri-
ca," is resulting in a cautious and neutralist Brazilian approach
to the Cuban problem and a tolerance for Cuban and pro-Commu-
nist activities in Brazil. Kubitschek's policy is based on the
views of his key foreign policy adviser Frederico Schmidt,

LATE ITEMS
*Laos: The second parachute battalion under Captain Kong Le
on 8 Est seized control of Vientiane and a nearby army base
in a sudden and unexpected action. The takeover was seemingly
carried out unilaterally by Kong Le, although it may have had
the secret backing of certain high-ranking army officers disgruntle
over the meteoric rise to preeminence of Defense Minister Gen-
eral Phoumi, The objectives of the takeover are as yet unclear
however, a leaflet signed by the "revolutionary committee" exhorts

"Lao patriots to.... chase the government out that demands money
from the great powers, " suggesting that the revolutionaries may
at the least seek a more neutralist alignment.
It is still too early to determine whether the revolutionaries can
make their takeover hold up. Phoumi, however, suffers a serious
disadvantage in that the troops at his disposal for counteraction
are widely dispersed throughout the country.

'BrRelates Cuban Problem to US Aid for Economic Development
1azil
The dominant group of Brazilian officials concerned with
foreign policy, including President Kubitschek and his chief
adviser, Augusto Frederico Schmidt, favors a, cautious neutral
approach to the. Cuban problem, in contrast to Brazil's past pol-
icy of marshaling support for the US at inter-American meetings.
This group, spearheaded by Schmidt, sees in this approach a way
to pry "massive support" from the US for Kubitschek's plan for
Latin American economic development, "Operation Pan America"
(OPA), which he regards as essential to hemisphere security.
A minority group in. the Foreign Ministry, including Foreign
Minister Lafer and Political Chief Pio Correa advocates a "hard
line" on. Cuba, but this is rejected by Schmidt
Kubitsc e almost fired io orrea for
putting specia restrictions on the issuance of visas to Cuban na-
tionals, and he rescinded the restrictions immediately.
The American Embassy in Rio de Janeiro believes that at the
forthcoming meeting of foreign ministers in Costa Rica, Brazil
will probably tend to withhold full cooperation on the Cuban issue
unless it receives quid pro quo on OPA or unless other Latin
American nations provide substantial unreserved support for US
viewpoints.
