DAILY BRIEF
16 FEBRUARY 1965
1. Vietnam
No major Chinese or North Viet-
namese military moves have been noted..
For the first time in.several days,
there have been no new anti-US pronounce-
ments from the principal Communist capi-
tals involved.
Small-scale Viet Cong harassing ac-
tivities have remained at a high level
for the past few days, but no new large
actions have been reported.r
/ A govern-
ment operation is in progress in Phuoc
Tuy against the Viet Cong units which
took part in the Binh Gia engagement at
the end of December.
New Premier Quat has rounded up a
largely civilian cabinet, which General
Khanh has described as the "best that
can be fielded at the present time._"
The cabinet appears balanced as to re-
gional and religious representation.
While there is no assurance that it will
not come under attack from the Buddhist
Institute, some Buddhist leaders have
indicated that they might be able to
work with Quat.
2. Honduras Hondurans go to the polls today.

3. France
4. Turkey
5. USSR
Turkey plans to rotate its contin-
gent on Cyprus late this month or early
next month. No specific date has been
set, but the Turks clearly expect that
President Makarios will back down and
allow the rotation to go through with-
out trouble. The Greeks have urged
this on Makarios,but the archbishop has
not yet tipped his hand.
In Ankara, Suat Hayri Urguplu, a
former ambassador to the US and a non-
party man, has been asked to form a
caretaker government until the October
elections.
The USSR is negotiating another
wheat deal with the Australians which
will bring the total from this source
to nearly 1.5 million tons. Moscow
has already bought 500,000 tons from
Canada and 250,000 tons from France.
These transactions are still far
short of the 12 million tons purchased
last winter. They indicate, however,
that Moscow means to take advantage of
present low prices to build up depleted
stockpiles.

6. Congo
Today, Congolese Army units near
the Ugandan border,reported themselves
under attack by "Ugandan soldiers."
Initial messages are fragmentary and
confused. , We know, however, that Ugan-
dan units were sent to this area after
the alleged bombing of a Ugandan border
post Saturday. The Ugandans have been
building this incident into a cause
celebre,and tempers are running high.
There is still no confirmation that
the bombing actually took place, but
gan an ou pos s in e area elieved--
and reported--that they had been bombed.
Embassy Kampala believes that the Ugan-
dan version is substantially correct.
