Soviet position in the maneuvering for advantage prior to the 5 July confrontation. Moscow has left itself particularly open to attack within the Communist world by its efforts to force faster economic integration on members of CEMA and by its response to the President's American Uni- versity speech. Peiping has seized the opportunities opened by these Soviet moves. The bitter Chinese commentary on. the President's speech, broadcast on 21 June by NCNA, is centered on the. "great conspiracy" of the US to destroy the Communist bloc by seducing. Communists into revi- sionism and thus splitting Moscow away from Peiping. The words are directed at Washington but the venom is aimed at the, Russian leaders, some of whom Pei- ping implies have been taken in. The Chinese may later cite, as evidence of this, Moscow's decision to publish the. President's speech while suppressing the Chinese central committee letter to the Soviet party. The Soviet ban on publica- tion is now being evaded by the Chinese. Peiping's embassy in Moscow is circulating.

In an unprecedented ac- tion, East Germany has formally protested to the Chinese. Embassy in East Berlin for its illegal dis- semination of polemical material. One of the new areas of attack on Soviet practices contained in the Chinese letter was a condemnation of Soviet attempts to impose certain economic policies 22 June 63 DAILY BRIEF 4 25X1 Approved For Rel ase 2004/12/21 CIA-RDP79T0097 A007100080001-4 j Approved For - 57100080001-4 25X1 on its satellites. This was clearly meant for sym- pathetic ears in Rumania especially, and probably elsewhere in the bloc. The Rumanians have already published a long arty news- se letter in their of the Chin r p e y summa paper. Although the summary omits the most po- lemical parts of the document, the simple fact of publication- -set against the Russian refusal to print any of the letter- -reflects Rumania's dissatisfaction with bloc economic developments and indicates its growing willingness to act independently of Moscow. 25X1 F j 22 June 63 DAILY BRIEF 5 Approved For Rel ase 2004/12/21 : CIA-RD A007100080001-4 25X1 Approved For-Release 2004/12/21 : CIA-RDP79T00975A007100080001-4 SOVIET MERCHANT SHIP IVAN POLZUNOV EN ROUTE TO CUBA, 16 JUNE 1963 Approved For Release 2004/12/21 : CIA-RDP79T00975A007100080001-4 22 June 63 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN Photo Approved For ~O(Z2004112121 - - 7100080001-4 25X1 j j j 0 10 j 25X1 Cuba-USSR: (T The Soviet cargo ship Ivan Polzunov arrived in Havana on 18 June, probable P-4 patrol craft at e.

In addition to revealing the regime's dissatisfaction with the loyalty and professional qualifications of the of- ficer corps, Hoffmann pointed out the necessity of developing the "civil qualifications" of officer stu- dents and said they would be trained to perform jobs in civil life such as upper-grade teachers and tech- nicians. This is another indication of the shortage of trained workers in the economy. 22 June 63 DAILY BRIEF 25 Approved For R ease - 75A007100080001-4 ........ .......

Peoples' Na- tional Congress leader Forbes Burnham is ap- parently trying to exploit the TUC's present weak ened condition in order to enhance his own polit- ical position. United Force leader Peter D'Aguiar, M who had previously cooperated with Burnham in backing the T~C, is extremely bitter about Burn- ham's conduct. Formal negotiations between Jagan and the TUC to end the strike, which once again seem to be in prospect, will continue to b e extremely difficult.

CIA-RDP79T0097 A100080001-4 j 1 I Ethiopia: Emperor 14aile Selassie plans to an- nounce in the near future important governmental changes designed to placate the increasing number of the regime's critics. These will provide for collective ministerial re- sponsibility under the prime minister's direct super- vision, presumably in response to a petition presented to the Emperor in late March urging that the prime minister be given more authority. The petition was signed by nearly all the top military and government leaders who played prominent roles in suppressing the 1960 coup attempt. 25X1 If the changes are implemented promptly, they may satisfy--at least for the present--the growing demand for rapid progress and reduce the frustra- 25X1 tion of the younger, educated elements.. Neverthe- less, the anticipated changes fall short of those sought by the petitioners--such as the election of the 'prime minister by Parliament--and further pressures may be expected in due course. 25X1 22 June 63 DAILY BRIEF 14 25X1 _ /~/~~/ raWWruveu rur Mdb"_ cuu4! icic i wH-RUr~ i uva~ HUV/ IuuvOUVU i-'+ j Approved For 7100080001-4 25X1 NOTES S Venezuela: The Venezuelan Government has warned the US Embassy in Caracas that the terror- ist Armed Forces of National Liberation (FALN) is planning to kidnap a high-level embassy official.

To survive, the govern- ment--which lacks an over-all parliamentary major- ity--will need the support of at least two of the four independent members who generally back it. *Italy: Giovanni Leone is due to be sworn in as premier tod y with an all - Christian Democratic 25X1 cabinet. Technically, he must seek a vote of confi- dence within ten days, but this requirement has not always been strictly enforced. To win such a vote, Leone is trying to get the Nenni Socialists, the So- cialist Democrats and the Republicans to abstain, but 25X1 nothing will be certain as long as the Socialists re- main in disarray. 22 June 63 DAILY BRIEF 16 ' LJ/\ I j Approved For ease 2004/12/21: CIA-RDP79T009 5'Mb7100080001-4 THE PRESIDENT The Vice President Executive Offices of the White House Special Counsel to the President The Special Assistant for National Security Affairs The Scientific Adviser to the President The Director of the Budget The Director, National Aeronautics and Space Administration The Department of State The Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Deputy Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Counselor and Chairman of the Policy Planning Council The Director of Intelligence and Research The Treasury Department The Secretary of the Treasury The Under Secretary of the Treasury The Department of Defense The Secretary of Defense The Deputy Secretary of Defense The Secretary of the Army The Secretary of the Navy The Secretary of the Air Force The Assistant Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs) The Assistant Secretary of Defense The Chairman, The Joint Chiefs of Staff Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Chief of Staff, United States Air Force Chief of Staff, United States Army Commandant, United States Marine Corps U.S. Rep., Military Committee and Standing Group, NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe Commander in Chief, Pacific Commander in Chief, Atlantic The Director, Defense Intelligence Agency The Director, The Joint Staff The Director for Intelligence, The Joint Staff The Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of Army The Director of Naval Intelligence, Department of Navy The Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, Department of the Air Force The Department of Justice The Attorney General The Federal Bureau of Investigation The Director The Atomic Energy Commission The Chairman The National Security Agency The Director The United States Information Agency The Director The National Indications Center The Director Approved For Relea . - . . - . - . ---. -J ------------ - 25X 25X 40 ~~/,IOOZXXOOO Approved Fo lease j 1p1 MCK"0975"007100080001-4 ti / Approved For Release / 21- 00975AO07100080001-4 u10 s :LKL I
