DAILY BRIEF
11 FEBRUARY 1967
1. North Vietnam
2. East Germany
have noted
signs that Hanoi is using the truce
to strengthen its position within the
Zone itself, and believe it is "highly
possible" that surface-to-air missiles
may have been moved in.
We are unable to confirm the New
York Times article yesterday saying
the Soviets are planning to pull out
three to five divisions from East
Germany and absorb the loss by sending
in more rocket forces. We agree, how-
ever, that this is a feasible way for
them to cover their withdrawals/

3. Warsaw Pact
4. Communist China
11 Feb 67
By all accounts the meeting of
Warsaw Pact foreign ministers, just
concluded, failed to reach agreement
on the implications of Rumania's es-
tablishing diplomatic relations with
the West Germans. This can only mean
that each of the other East European
countries will continue to deal with
Bonn essentially as it sees fit.

5. Nigeria
6. Cyprus
11 Feb 67
A new showdown between General
Gowon, who heads the flabby federal
government, and Eastern governor
Ojukwu seems to be shaping up. The
issue--naturally enough--is money;
Ojukwu plans to hold on to all revenues
generated in the East after the fiscal
year ends next month.
Makarios told the Greek Crown Coun-
cil which met earlier in the week on
the Cyprus question that on the basis
of his "personal knowledge" the US
would intervene at the ?appropriate
moment--act as mediator, enforce nego-
tiations, and prevent the Turks from
taking military action. Ambassador
Talbot in Athens is now making the
rounds to set the record straight.
