INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM
The India-Pakistan Situation
(Report - As o : 0 a.m. EDT)
1. There are no fresh reports on the military
situation along the border between India and West
Pakistan. The Indian drive toward Sialkot apparently
has been stalled near that city. One of the Indian 25X1
attacks aimed at Lahore is claimed by Pakistan to
have been halted at Wa ah close to the Indo-Pakistani
border,
The Pakistanis apparently still
have the edge tar er south in the fighting near
Ferozepur, where they were last reported on the Indian
side of the border.
2. The Indian radio on 11 September is still
reporting Pakistani air activity against targets in
Assam. It claimed three Pakistani air strikes against
the airfield at Gauhati, in the state of Assam, and
three unsuccessful air raids on a vital bridge across
the Brahmaputra River just west of Gauhati.
3. The Pakistani domestic radio on 11 September
emphasized the blandness of the just completed talks
between Pakistani officials and UN Secretary General
U Thant. Foreign Minister Bhutto told newsmen that
the Secretary General had not made any ""crystalized
proposals" for ending the conflict, but he described
the exchange of ideas as "very useful." The radio
said U Thant stated before leaving Rawalpindi that he
had put forward certain ideas and suggestions. Presi-
dent Ayub is "understood" to have explained to U Thant
that a cease-fire in Kashmir was only the beginning,
not the end, of the argument.
