DAILY BRIEF

1. Communist China
2. United Nations
There is a general feeling at the
UN that U Thant will agree to remain in
office at least for a shortened term if
a suitable successor cannot be found.

3. Belgium-Congo
4. Ethiopia
5. South Vietnam
Despite strong public pressure for
a hard line against Mobutu, the Belgian
Government yesterday-formally approved
a conciliatory policy toward the Congo.
This means that Brussels will maintain
its technical assistance in health, edu-
cation, and rural development.
Military and police aid, however,
will be purely advisory, not operational
as in the past. The problem with this
is that the Congo's army and police have
rarely been able to function without
foreign leadership.
Chief of State Thieu publicly de-
clared today that he will not be a can-
didate for the presidency of a future
elected government. This is similar to
an earlier statement by Premier Ky.
These could be intended as conciliatory
gestures to the Buddhists.
The leaders in Saigon still, how-
ever, show no signs of giving in to an-
other major Buddhist demand--that they
quickly release political prisoners.
