DAILY BRIEF

1. Vietnam
2._ Arab States
King Hussein confirms that the
United Arab Command has issued a direc-
tive to the Arab countries bordering
Israel to select appropriate Israeli tar-
gets for retaliation purposes. The tar-
gets selected are to include "economic
projects." Each Arab country is to pre-
pare up to one brigade (approximately
1,000 men) to conduct retaliatory raids
into Israel.
The US Embassy in Amman believes
that this plan would be invoked only in
response to what the Arabs considered a
clear-cut act of Israeli aggression. The
Embassy warns, however, of the danger that
they might overreact to relatively minor
provocation.

3. Cyprus
4. British Guiana
In Ankara, Turkish Foreign Minister
Isik told Secretary Rusk that his gov-
ernment can give no promise to consult
NATO before starting any military action
to protect or support the Turkish Cyp-
riots. Isik also told the Secretary
that Turkey is "really interested" in
talking to the Greek Government if there
is some prospect of concrete results. He
said he feared, however, that it would
not be possible to preserve relations
with Greece if the urgent question of
the physical situation of the Turkish
Cypriots is not settled within a "normal"
period of time.
A smoldering argument between Prime
Minister Burnham and Finance Minister
D'Aguiar over tax policy has again
brought the coalition government to the
point of collapse. Ambassador Carlson
reports that D'Aguiar and his party col-
leagues have consulted the governor on
the procedure to be followed to resign,
and presumably will do so soon if
Burnham does not concede.
