THE PRESIDENT'S INTELLIGENCE CHECKLIST--23 NOVEMBER 1964
1. COMMUNIST CHINA:
A. THE "G"?CLASS MISSILE?LAUNCHING SUBMARINE SPOTTED AT
DAIREN IN 7 NOVEMBER, PHOTOS APPARENTLY WAS BUILT THERE BY
THE CHINESE.
B. DETAILED REVIEW OF PAST PHOTOS OF DAIREN NOW SHOWS
THAT THE HULL ASSEMBLY BEGAN ABOUT JUNE 1962, IT MAY HAVE
BEEN ONE OF A NUMBER OF NAVAL PROJECTS LAID ON WITH SOVIET
ASSISTANCE PRIOR TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF SOVIET TECHNICIANS IN
19602 BUT WAS PROBABLY BUILT WITHOUT SUBSEQUENT SOVIET AID.
C. THE SOVIET G?CLASS SUBMARINE IS DIESEL. POWERED AND
CARRIES THREE SURFACE?LAUNCHED 350 NM MISSILES, THE DAIREN
SUBMARINE TS:POSSIBLY!COMPLETED,BUT WE CANNOT TELL TO WHAT
EXTENT IT HAS BEEN FITTED OUT OR WHETHER IT ADHERES TO SOVIET
SPECIFICATIONS.
D. THE CHINESE ARE PROBABLY DEVELOPING THE MISSILES AND
WARHEADS THEMSELVES, IN ANY 'EVENT, WE THINK THE SUBMARINE IS
A LONG WAY FROM BEING OPERATIONAL IN ITS MISSILE?LAUNCHING
ROLE.
2. CONGO (AS OF 0800 EST):
A. THE VAN DER WALLE COLUMN ENROUTE TO STANLEYVILLE IS
AT LUBUTU, 125 MILES AWAY. THUS FAR IT HAS MET WITH ONLY
LIGHT RESISTANCE,

B. THE PRESS IS CARRYING "UNCONFIRMED" REPORTS OF THE
ARRIVAL OF THE BELGIAN PARATROOPS AT KAMINA IN THE CONGO AND
WORD HAS REACHED UN HEADQUARTERS IN NEW YORK.
C. THE SITUATION IN STANLEYVILLE ITSELF IS FAR FROM
CLEAR, AND WE HAVE NO FIRM INFORMATION ON THE DEGREE OF CON?
TROL ,EXERCISED BY REBEL AUTHORITIES.
D. A REBEL BROADCAST HAS STATED THAT DR. CARLSON HAS
BEEN GIVEN ANOTHER REPRIEVE. THERE IS NO FIRM INFORMATION
ON THE STATUS OF OTHER HOSTAGES, ALLEGEDLY REMOVED FROM
STANLEYVILLE ITSELF.
E. REBEL BROADCASTS HAVE MADE CRUDE THREATS ABOUT THEIR
FATE AND TIE THIS TO THE NEGOTIATIONS IN NAIROBI WITH KANZA,
WHO ARRIVED THERE ONLY YESTERDAY.
F. TSHOMBE AND KASAVUBU PROBABLY FEEL BETTER NOW, BUT
IN THE PAST FEW DAYS THEY HAD BEEN GETTING SOMEWHAT EDGY.
THEY FELT THEY WERE BEING PUSHED AROUND. YESTERDAY TSHOMBE
WAS URGING IMMEDIATE USE OF THE BELGIAN PARATROOPS.

3. NOTES:
B. USSR: KOSYGIN'S SON?IN?LAW, A DEPUTY CHAIRMAN
OF THE USSR'S STATE COMMITTEE FOR COORDINATION OF SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH, SAYS THERE IS A NEW SOVIET INDUSTRIAL PROCUREMENT
POLICY, PARTIALLY TO CONSERVE FOREIGN EXCHANGE. HENCEFORTH,
WESTERN ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY AND LICENSES, RATHER THAN COM?
PLETE INDUSTRIAL PLANTS, WILL BE SOUGHT, WE HAVE NOTED RE?
CENTLY A VIRTUAL STANDSTILL IN SOVIET NEGOTIATIONS FOR PLANTS,
AND THIS MAY EXPLAIN IT.
C. CZECHOSLOVAKIA: CZECH PARTY BOSS NOVOTNY, WHO
SHUNNED THE SOVIET 7 NOVEMBER CELEBRATIONS, HAS NOW ACCEPTED
AN INVITATION TO MOSCOW, BUT THERE ARE CONTINUING SIGNS THAT
PRAGUE WISHES TO TREAD A SOMEWHAT INDEPENDENT PATH.
PRAGUE WANTS NEW TRADE TALKS WITH THE US FOR WHICH IT
WOULD PAVE THE WAY BY SETTLING CLAIMS FOR CONFISCATED US
PROPERTY,
D. SOUTH VIETNAM: NO DEMONSTRATIONS HAVE BEEN REPORTED
THUS FAR TODAY, FOLLOWING YESTERDAY'S POLICE ACTION AGAINST
DEMONSTRATORS IN SAIGON WHO WERE CALLING FOR CHANGES IN

PREMIER HUONG'S GOVERNMENT. HUONG HAD MILITARY BACKING YES?
TERDAY, BUT GENERAL KHANH'S ATTITUDE COULD CHANGE IF THE
BUDDHISTS SHOULD BECOME INCREASINGLY INVOLVED.
E. YEMEN: ALTHOUGH SOME FIGHTING, INITIATED BY ROYAL?
IST ATTACKS, CONTINUES IN THE NORTH DESPITE THE CEASE?FIRE,
THE SAUDIS AND THE EGYPTIANS APPARENTLY ARE CONTINUING TO
PRESS FOR A SETTLEMENT.
BOTH
COUNTRIES ARE COOPERATING IN PREPARATIONS FOR THE REPUBLICAN?
ROYALIST UNITY CONFERENCE. THIS WAS DUE TO START TODAY, BUT
FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS HAS BEEN POSTPONED FOR A WEEK.
G. PANAMA: STUDENT GROUPS WERE PLANNING AlVIARCH TODAY
ON THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY BUILDING,AND THE LEADERS ARE REPORTED
READY TO INCITE VIOLENCE IN ORDER TO CREATE NEW MARTYRS. THE
NEXT DAY OR SO COULD PROVIDE A TEST OF PRESIDENT ROBLE'S DE?
TERMINATION TO RESIST ULTRANATIONALIST PRESSURES.
