1. South Vietnam
a. The Military Revolutionary
Council, .meeting to pick a new chief
of state, has recessed until tonight.
50X1
b. Khanh had been confident
of his re-election, but there are
reports of dissatisfaction within
the MRC
c. Khanh said yesterday that
the MRC would dissolve itself, and
that the new chief executive would
be free to pick his own ministers,
the judiciary,and a provisional
assembly. This arrangement, he
said,was endorsed by Buddhist
leader Tri Quang, the master mind
behind the Buddhist/student campaign.
d. Tri Quang appears deter-
mined to be the ultimate source of
power--without responsibility.
Yesterday he told a US Embassy
official that, if Khanh were over-
thrown or not elected today, the
Buddhists would oppose Khanh's suc-
cessor.

2. Cyprus
a. Although Papandreou had
said he planned to "deal force-
fully" with Makarios in Athens
yesterday, Makarios would appear
again to have come out on top.
We do not yet, however, have the
full story.
b. He has assurances of Greek
military support in the event of
another Turkish attack as well as
reaffirmation of the decision to
submit the Cyprus question to the
UN General Assembly. In return he
called off Cypriot Foreign Minister
Kyprianou's pending trip to Moscow.

3. Congo
e. On the island, the situa-
tion is no better, although present
military activity is minimal.
g. The economic blockade
against the Turkish Cypriots re-
mains a serious problem. Water
supplies have been eased, but fuel
is short and Greek Cypriot leaders
are not cooperating with UN repre-
sentatives.
a. The security situation
continues bleak, particularly in
the northeast, although there is
no new information on a rebel ad-
vance downriver beyond Bumba.
