DAILY BRIEF
8 OCTOBER 1966
1. North Vietnam
2. Malaysia
One of the seven major Chinese
military support units in North Viet-
nam seems to have completed its mission
and may be returning to China. This
is the special engineer division
which
has been working on coastal defense
construction projects off Haiphong.
Communications involving this unit
have been gradually declining for some
months, and now appear to have ceased
altogether.
Civilian officials are beginning
to get concerned over continuing Indo-
nesian incursions into Malaysian Borneo.
The civilians' eyes have finally been
opened by solid proof that there were
incursions not only after the two coun-
tries had agreed in June to end con-
frontation, but also after the agree-
ment had been signed in mid-August.
The civilians, however, are reluc-
tant to believe Suharto himself is re-
sponsible. They think Suharto is the
best they can hope for in Indonesia to-
day.
