DAILY BRIEF
16 JUNE 1965
1. Vietnam
2. Peru
According to press reports, General
Ky has said that military representation
in the new cabinet will be limited to de-
fense and security posts. Ky and Thieu
told Ambassador Taylor today that they
expect to complete the cabinet and a
draft of the government charter by Fri-
day. They appear to be thinking along
authoritarian lines.
Ambassador Taylor reports that as
a result of the heavy fighting recently
the number of combat ineffective army
units has gone up. At present, four
regiments and nine battalions are on the
ineffective list, whereas only a few
weeks ago the numbers were two regiments
and three battalions.
In Communist China, popular appre- 50X1
hension over possible air attacks seems
to be growing. 50X1

4. Dominican Republic Scattered firing in Santo Domingo
stopped this morning, but there has been
no letup in the rebel propaganda war
against the US and the Organization of
American States.
Two of the 30 US paratroopers wounded
yesterday have died. One Brazilian of-
ficer was wounded, the first Latin Ameri-
can casualty. Reports on rebel losses
are confused, but they apparently suf-
fered several fatalities.
Rebel spokesmen today again threatened
to "fight to the death." Caamano told the
press today that the US and the Inter-Amer-
ican Force were trying to "destroy democ-
racy" in the Dominican Republic. He sar-
castically challenged the Imbert regime to
follow up on its propaganda threats to
wipe out the rebels.
5. Venezuela

6. Afro-Asian
Conference
Despite rosy press releases from the
Algerian hosts, the physical and admini-
strative preparations for the "Second Ban-
dung" Afro-Asian conference scheduled to 50X1
convene in Algiers on 29 June are not go-
in at all well.
