*Congoe (situation as of 0200 EST) The UN appears to have
secured con rol of most key strongpoints in and around Elisa-
bethville. Reports indicate that most of the Katangan forces
there have been fragmented into uncoordinated groups and that
they are discouraged and apathetic. UN troops are under in-
structions to bypass any major resistance where feasible,
leaving such pockets for a mop-up, planned as the final phase
of the operation. The UN apparently has no intention of mov-
ing at this time against the Katangan strongholds at Kolwezi
and Jadotville or against Tshombd's mercenaries directly.
However, Sture Linner, the top UN official in the Congo, stated
on 16 December that the ouster of the mercenaries would have
to be part of an agreement with Tshombd or the UN would have
to "seek them out.`
Prospects for meaningful negotiations between Tshombd
and Adoula are still uncertain.. Both men apparently have a-
greed to meet at Kitona, a UN-controlled air base in the

coastal area of the Congo, and arrangements reportedly have
een completed for Ambassador Gullion to escort Tshombe
to the site today, However, as of early this morning Tshombe
was apparently still angling for prior formal assurances that
a cease-fire would go into effect before or upon his departure
for the talks, The UN has agreed privately to a de facto cease-
fire when Tshomb6leaves but maintains publicly that its mili-
tary operation is unrelated to the proposed negotiations and
can be ended only when all proclaimed objectives have been
achieved. Ambassador Gullion believes any public suggestion
that Tshombe has succeeded in obtaining a cease-fire would
make it impossible for Adoula, who is under pressure from
extremists in his cabinet opposed to any dealings with Tshombd,
to come to the Kitona meeting. There is still no firm evidence
that Tshombd now is ready seriously to discuss the integration
of Katanga into the Congo; in announcing his readiness to meet
Adoula, Tshombd defined the purpose of the talks as discussion
of "an immediate cessation of hostilities." His agreement to
participate may thus be essentially a tactical move to buy time 25X1

with the Common Market (EEC) was filed on 15 December
--along with those of Switzerland and Sweden--despite a

thet~Atstrian cabinet decided to approach the EEC. It reiterates
Moscow's thesis that the Common Market is an economic arm
of NATO and that Austria's participation would be contrary to
its neutrality and to the provisions of the State Treaty. The

Soviet arguments in entering into negotiations with the EEC.
During his 7 December conversation with Ambassador Matthews,
Foreign Minister Kreisky said that he did not know what type of
Soviet pressures to expect, but he speculated that Czechoslova
kia "might be deputized to carry the Soviet ball."
e decision of the three neutrals to seek direct EEC asso-
Despite sympathy in the EEC for the alleged economic
plighlTfacing. the neutrals, opposition to their association appears
to have increased. It is feared that granting them the Common=,
ciation results from their failure, after several years of effort,
to find alternate ways of protecting their economic ties with the
West. All three were ardent supporters of the abortive Free
I Trade Area project and subsequently joined with Britain in the
Outer seven, primarily to exert pressure on the EEC to agree
to an all-European trading arrangement. However, when the
UK itself decided last July to apply for full EEC membership,
the three neutrals had no choice but to attempt to work out their
own bilateral arrangements with the Common Market.)
During the last few months the neutrals have attempted to
concert their views on the exceptions they feel they require
to preserve their neutrality. They have been particularly con-
cerned over the indefinite duration of the EEC treaty, its pro-
visions for a common commercial policy, and other measures
looking toward full economic union. They will probably seek
exemptions in these matters and have already spurned any
commitment to eventual political integration. Austria believes
it can accept no closer ties with the Common Market than those
negotiated by Be ,j

Market's tariff advantages would leave the EEC little
xcuse for denying them to other claimants, such as the
Commonwealth. Proponents, like Belgian Foreign Minister
Spaak, of a European federal union are also concerned that
the neutrals will slow the political evolution of the EEC by
joining forces with the "minimalists" among the present
member states. Finally, there is concern that the neutrals
might be an additional obstacle to the development of a
close European-US artnership in NATO or in an eventual
Atlantic community.)

P British Guiana Developments
'Jagan is determined to establish.industry to raise
living standards and combat unemployment (18 percent) in
British Guiana, which is dependent on sugar, rice, and
bauxite production. There are indications that Jagan is
planning an early visit to the "socialist countries" and will
ask for bloc aid. On 13 December Pravda said Jagan had
stated at the Tanganyika independence ceremonies that he
