The booster stage, some 15 feet long, and the second stage sus- tainer, about 35 feet, both have very large fixed fins suggesting an anti-ballistic missile (ABM),mission. he missiles probably are the ones observed under canvas by Western attaches during parade re- hearsals on 22 and 26 Octobe, TASS identified them as "long-range guided interceptors" and commented that "at recent exercises these long-range air defense rockets proved capable of hitting any up-to-date air- space attack weapons" No other new weapons appeared in the parade. Speeches by both General Staff Chief Biryuzov and Minister of Defense Malinovsky repeated the standard Soviet boasts of general military prowess and claims of new capabilities in both missile and conventional weapons. 25X1 55, OF 8 Nov 63 Approved For Rele DAILY BRIEF 1bAl 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO07300350001-2 Next 1 Page(s) In Document Exempt Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO07300350001-2 Approved Fo I se 2003/04/11.

An Iranian committee is considering a Soviet re- ques , recently renewed, for mutual air and landing rights for regularly scheduled commercial aircraft. Iran has so far withheld overflight privileges and landing rights until the USSR guarantees full reciproc- ity, including permission for non-Iranian pilots to fly Iranian aircraft over Soviet territory. J Iran also recently agreed to negotiate the specif- ics of-an overland transit agreement which was con- cluded in general terms nearly a year ago. Once the details are worked out, Iranian exports and imports may be sh'pped to and from European countries via the USSR. Further talks may result from Soviet President ?r?w BrezTinev's scheduled good-will visit to Iran in mid- ZD^ I //j j j WE 6 Nov 63 DAILY BRIEF 6 Approved For Rele se 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T0097 A007300350001-2 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975AN7300350001-2 M. chiangP\ Kochiua O~Mt 1 ggtzu t ?L..i' :hMengLe HONG SALT J '\ n I- I B U R M A It l'?\?1 p Phuien Lan ' 'Munn': Sol NAMTHA jduv Sop 1 NEaI ~t V }.'Ban' LUA NI, PRAIiA SIr I. ~Ilbuel / V h11111A P LI A Sai )I ~J - 4?.

Souvanna recently has expressed optimism that he can bring the Pathet Lao back into full participa- tion in the coalition government. He apparently in- tends to renew his earlier proposal that the adminis- trative capital be transferred, at least temporarily, to Luang Prabang, which would be demilitarized. The two Pathet Lao ministers in the coalition, Prince Souphannouvong and Phoumi Vongvichit, have justified their self-exile in Khang Khay on the ground that their security cannot be assured in Vientiane .as + 1 th t d V, ro t 1 j ; ong as a ci y is un er rig is con .

Papandreou, whose party won 140 of the 300 par- liamentary seats in last Sunday's election, expects his government to be sworn in today. Since Parlia- ment would not normally reconvene until early Decem- ber, he should have a month in which to try to win enough defectors from the National Radical Union (ERE) of former Premier Karamanlis to assure a working majority. At present, it appears that the ERE will go along with a confidence vote rather than try to force a new election, since there is currently no strong issue for I Karamanlis to exploit. Moreover, the EK would prob- ably come out of such an election even stronger than it is now. It would be likely to pick up votes from sympathizers who did not support Papandreou this time because they thought he would lose. The pro-Communist United Democratic Left (EDA), which came in a weak third, also does not appear to have anything to gain from opposing Papandreou and seeking a new election at this time. 25X1 j 8 Nov 63 DAILY BRIEF 9 Approved For Rel ase 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975 007300350001-2 25X1 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO07300350001-2 Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO07300350001-2 N USSR-Iraq: ~five-man Soviet military mission sition of surface-to-air missile equipment which has been packed for return to the USSR.

Although Djuanda's role in government policy was slight in the period just before his death, he occasionally had exerted some restraining influence on President Sukarno, had supported the army's anti- Communist efforts, and was the leading proponent of economic stabilization with Western help. Sukarno may postpone appointing a replacement for Djuanda or may appoint a noncontroversial figure of lesser political standing in order to avoid factional feuding. Communist China - East Africa- Communist China appears confident that Kenya and Zanzibar will follow other former British colonies in Africa by recognizing Peiping soon after they become independ- ent early next month. The Chinese are reported to have made unofficial inquiries already about offices for a diplomatic mission in Zanzibar. According to the US Consulate General in Nairobi, top Kenyan leaders have informally agreed to recognize Peiping, and the Chinese may offer Kenya several hundred vocational training scholarships as an independence ift. 8 Nov 63 D ILY B Approved For Relf`i~11!111: ~!!UUXU4/11 P7911UU975A U73UU35UU 1-2 25X1 Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975A0g7300350001-2 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 I#or Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975A0073003J0001-2 25X1 Approved For Release TO11 0975AO"T300350001-2 000 Approved For Releas /1 00975AO07300350001-2 I /00i
