The Greek, Italian, Dutch, and Turkish delegates expressed general agreement but were without final instructions from their govern- ments. After a phone conversation with Foreign Min- ister Fanfani the Italian representative stated that his government, until formally invested, could not sign _ .the declaration. This would be no earlier than 15 Marche The most serious objections were raised by the Canadians, Danes, Norwegians, and Portuguese. The Canadian and Danish representatives suggested that separate statements based on agreed points be issued by each of the 14 governments. The US ambassador in Oslo believes that a separate response approach would also find more favor with the Norwegians The Portuguese representative predicted that "Portuguese public opinion" would not stand for a "ringing declaration" against a country with which Portugal has no real difficulties. He is, however, flying to Lisbon to lobby for the declaration The UK has circulated a revised draft of its dec- lara`Tion to all 14 capitals and the British Foreign Office is hopeful of near unanimous agreement by Monday night. The UK ambassador in Copenhagen reports that the Danish foreign minister told him he expects quick approval of the revised declaration by the Parliamen- tary Foreign Affairs Committee. The British are strongly inclined to issue a separate UK statement em- bodying their draft no agreement is forthcoming by Tuesday morning 4Mar66. 25X1 N Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975A008800280001-4 (continued) j Approved Fo - f -The press has already surfaced reports of the at- ernment would go far toward realizing one of De Gaulle's l chief aims- -publicizing the lack of unity in the alliance] some type of declaration in support of NATO or a fall- back to separate but similar declarations by each gov- tempt to obtain agreement to the UK proposal.

"_D Under pressure from the Soviet Union at the urging of East Germany, Soviet bloc countries have refrained for a year from concluding any agreements with the Federal Republic which contain such a pro- vision. As a result, negotiations on important eco- nomic and political issues have been fitful and with- out significant progress [According to a West German Foreign Ministry official, however, Rumania has recently proposed that Bonn send a delegation to Bucharest in April to negotiate a cultural exchange agreement. Because the Rumanians previously been in- formed that the Federal Government would only sign an agreement specifically including Berlin, the West German official has concluded that Bucharest is will- ing to accept a "Berlin clause. 11 LBulgarian authorities also have expressed an interest in a cultural accord with West Germany, but according to the same source would prefer it to be a supplement to the Bulgarian - West German trade agreement, which already contains a "Berlin clause. " Bonn has delayed giving a firm answer to Sofia, hoping to conclude the agreement with Rumania first, thus creating a "new situation" for the Bulgarians. 14 Mar 66 10 25X Approved For Release 2003/04/11 : CIA-RDP79T00975AO08800280001-4 ro, Approved For Release 2003/04/11 ?

Al- though uncertainties continue in the region as a re- sult of far-reaching changes instituted since the 15 January coup, the alert appears to be directly related to the visit of many ministers of the former govern- ment to Kaduna, the region's capital, for the 12 March opening of an Islamic Center. By placing its forces on an alert the military regime is re-emphasizing its ban on political activity not only to those who have ignored the ban but also to younger army officers who may be chafing at the temporary presence in the city of the group they ousted barely two months ago.
