THE PRESIDENT'S INTELLIGENCE CHECKLIST--28 NOVEMBER 1964
1. CONGO:
A. THE GOVERNMENT'S GRIP ON STANLEYVILLE IS STILL UN?
SURE. VAN DER WALLE HAS SENT A SMALL FORCE ACROSS THE RIVER,
BUT HE IS TOO FULLY ENGAGED TO MOVE OUT OF TOWN. THERE ARE
LARGE NUMBERS OF REBELS IN THE BUSH OUTSIDE PAULIS.
B. THE BELGIAN PARATROOPERS HAVE LEFT THE AREA AND ARE
SCHEDULED TO RETURN TO BELGIUM TODAY. HOWEVER, WITH NUMBERS
OF BELGIANS AND OTHER EUROPEANS STILL IN REBEL HANDS, SPAAK
IS UNDER PRESSURE TO ORDER FURTHER DROPS TO RELEASE THEM,
D. CAIRO RADIO TODAY HAS A REPORT, AS YET UNCONFIRMED,
THAT GBENYE, SOUMIALOT? AND OTHER REBEL LEADERS HAVE SLIPPED
ACROSS THE BORDER INTO SUDAN.
E. THE OAU CONGO COMMISSION'S MEETING IN NAIROBI MAY
NOT LAST LONG. HAILE SELASSIE HAS CALLED FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY
MEETING OF AFRICAN HEADS OF STATE IN ADDIS ABABA. HE MAY WISH
TO LET AFRICAN PASSIONS COOL AND TRANSFER CONSIDERATION OF THE
CONGO PROBLEM TO ADDIS ABABA FROM NAIROBI, WHERE THE RADICALS
HAVE THE UPPER HAND.

F. ANTI?AMERICAN DEMONSTRATIONS SEEM TO BE SUBSIDING,
EXCEPT IN MOSCOW WHERE A MOB OF 2,000 TODAY ATTACKED THE US
EMBASSY.
2. WESTERN EUROPE:
A. THE FRENCH ARE MOVING TO EXPLOIT RECENT BLOWS TO THE
MLF, SUCH AS WILSON'S PUBLIC STATEMENTS LAST MONDAY.
3. SOUTH VIETNAM:
A. SAIGON HAS BEEN QUIET FOLLOWING THE INSTITUTION OF
MARTIAL LAW, BUT HUONG SEES FURTHER TROUBLE AROUND THE CORNER.

THE CRY FOR HIS SCALP FROM MEMBERS OF THE HIGH COUNCIL AND
BUDDHIST ELEMENTS.

C. HUONG SAYS HE HAS HAD ASSURANCES OF SUPPORT FROM THE
AIR FORCE AND MARINE COMMANDERS. HE NOTES THAT KHANH HAS BEEN
"COOPERATING FULLY."
D. AIR FORCE COMMANDER KY, HOWEVER, FEELS THAT KHANH IS
REALLY OUT TO UNDERCUT HUONG. KY SAYS THAT IF THINGS CONTINUE
TO SLIP DOWNHILL, HE WILL TAKE ACTION--"LEGALLY"-- TO THROW
KHANH OUT.
E. HANOI HAS BEEN FLOATING STILL ANOTHER ROUND OF RATHER
VAGUE SUGGESTIONS THAT NORTH VIETNAM AND THE LIBERATION FRONT
MIGHT BE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE. WE SUSPECT THESE ARE TIMED FOR
AMBASSADOR TAYLOR'S VISIT TO WASHINGTON.
4. TANZANIA:
A. FIVE AMERICAN MISSIONARIES HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR
"ESPIONAGE" AGAINST A TRAINING CAMP OF THE MOZAMBIQUE NA?
TIONALISTS IN CENTRAL TANGANYIKA.
B. THEIR ARREST, TAKEN TOGETHER WITH "NEW EVIDENCE"
THAT THE US HAS BEEN CONSPIRING AGAINST TANZANIA AND THE
LIBERATION MOVEMENT IN SOUTHERN AFRICA, WILL FEED THE ANTI?
AMERICAN FLAMES IN THIS AREA.
C. ALL THIS HAS LEFT NYERERE2 NEVER A DECISIVE FIGURE,
MORE CONFUSED AND VACILLATING THAN EVER. HE HAS CONSPICUOUSLY
FAILED TO LIVE UP TO HIS PROMISE TO PUBLISH EVIDENCE THAT THE
EARLIER DOCUMENTS IMPLICATING THE US WERE FORGED.

6. NOTES:
A. COMMUNIST CHINA: LAST MONDAY WE NOTED THAT THE G?
CLASS SUBMARINE AT DAIREN WAS PROBABLY OF CHINESE MANUFACTURE,
A RE?EXAMINATION OF PHOTOGRAPHY TAKEN IN JULY SHOWS WHAT AP?
PEARS TO BE A W?CLASS SUBMARINE (A CONVENTIONAL SOVIET MODEL
OF EARLY 50'S VINTAGE) IN AN ADVANCED STAGE OF CONSTRUCTION
AT THE MAIN NAVAL SHIPYARD IN SHANGHAI. HULL SECTIONS FOR A
SECOND ARE NEARBY,
B. SUDAN: THE COMMUNISTS SEEM TO BE PUTTING OVER THEIR
PLAN FOR A "SUPREME COUNCIL" INDEPENDENT OF THE TRADITIONAL
POLITICAL PARTIES, PURGE COMMITTEES HAVE NOW BEEN SET UP IN
THE ARMED SERVICES AND GOVERNMENT MINISTRIES PRESUMABLY WITH
THE AIM OF EMASCULATING THE PRO?WESTERN CIVIL SERVICE. THE
MODERATES ARE FRAGMENTED AND DOING LITTLE ABOUT THIS.
