DAILY BRIEF
3 JULY 1965
1. Vietnam
50X1
Moscow foresees an armistice as a possible
basis for negotiations. This, 50X1
would allow US troops to remain in South
Vietnam, but would stop South Vietnamese
actions against the Viet Cong. 50X1
Moscow is not too hope- 50X1
ful the armistice would bring a permanent
solution, but thinks "talking is better
than shooting."
Communications intelligence continues
to reflect heavy rail traffic into North
Vietnam. 50X1
/ship-
ments of high-priority military and civilian
goods are expected to strain North Vietnam's
rail facilities for some time.
2. Dominican Republic Bosch is sticking to his belief that
his followers should not participate in the
provisional government.
/the former president reiterated his 50X1
opinion that association with what he thinks
will prove to be an unpopular government
could only "burn" his supporters. He did
suggest, however, that diplomatic or municipal
posts would be acceptable.
Balaguer, meanwhile, is reported confident
he will be the next president. He claims
that some of Bosch's prominent supporters are
defecting and will'be on his side in the next
election. Balaguer has many enemies, however.
Five shotswere fired from a speeding car at
his house early this morning.
yesterd50X1
that his 1 July speech was an "open gate" to
the Organization of American States. Opinion
in Santo Domingo now seems to be that Imbert
sincerely intends to depart from the scene.

3. Algeria
4. Israel
5. Congo
The new Algerian Government is
scheduled to be announced on 5 July.
Solid information on its probable
composition is scarce, reflecting the
confusion that still seems to prevail
within the Boumedienne regime. Some
effort is apparently being made to strike
an equitable military-civilian balance,
however.
Yesterday Israeli Ambassador Gazit
told the State Department that there
are new indications of Lebanese digging
operations as part of the Arab water-
diversion project. Washington has re-
ceived no report supporting Gazit's
claim. The Department believes Gazit
may have been hinting at the possibility
of an Israeli pre-emptive strike of the
kind launched against Syrian diversion
operations.
Adoula could be a useful
ally for Kasavubu in any showdown with
Premier Tshombe, but it is not clear
that Kasavubu has authorized his follow-
ers to make their soundings. Kasavubu
and Tshombe harbor well-founded mutual
suspicions, but both still maintain that
their differences are under control.
