DAILY BRIEF
28-NOVEMBER 1966
?1. Vietnam
2. Indonesia
The Viet Cong radio yesterday de-
nounced Saigon's statement that the
Viet Cong had "proposed" truces over
Christmas and New Year's. The Viet
Cong declared that their truce announce-
ment was a unilateral decision, and
that there is no question of "making
any proposal" to the US and South Viet-
nam.
The Viet Cong's sharp reaction is
probably explained by their desire to
squelch any implication that the truces
could lead to negotiations.
Ambassador Green feels that Foreign
Minister Malik is less optimistic about
the political situation than in recent
months.
Two things in particular seemed to
be bugging Malik when he talked with
Green Saturday: .a belief that the mili-
tary were "moving in" on the civilian
sector, and fear that Suharto was play-
ing Sukarno too loosely. He apparently
feels that Suharto's tendency to compro-
mise with Sukarno will revive now dor-
mant pro-Sukarno elements.
The President, however, may soon
be in for some anxious moments. Colonel
Dani, a chief figure in last October's
coup attempt, goes on trial before a
military tribunal on Wednesday. He prob-
ably knows all and could implicate Su-
karno, but may well. hold back in hope of 50X1
obtaining clemency from the President.
