DAILY BRIEF
10 MAY 1967
1. Vietnam
2. Yemen
3. India
The Egyptians still swear the two
AID officials will be released--with-
out trial--despite Yemeni noises to the
contrary. The Egyptian foreign minis-
ter, speaking for Vice President Amir,
says Egypt is "doing its best."
Some of Cairo's other actions
have not been helpful, however. A US
team to remove the AID files has not
been allowed to leave Egypt. The "docu-
ments" the Yemenis claim incriminate
the AID officials may well be among the
papers the Egyptians filched from the
AID building and examined in Taiz last
weekend. There are also signs that a
mob attack on the AID building may be
drummed up, probably to cover the
rifling of the files.
The Yemeni Foreign Office has
asked that the US consulate in Taiz
be closed. Washington has authorized
the consul to destroy the communications
gear andclose the consulate at his dis-
cretion.
Mrs Gandhi brought it off. Her
personal choice for president--the first
Muslim to hold the office--won Saturday's
election. This is a much needed boost
both for her and the sagging Congress
Party.

6. Indonesia
7. Gabon
Robles has sent his foreign minis-
ter back to the US with instructions to
wind up the canal treaty negotiations
"as soon as possible." Robles wants
the treaties signed by June. His chief
negotiator, however, doubts that this
deadline can be met.
French officials are thinking
about the problem of the "residual
value" of the now abandoned US instal-
lations in France. However, they say
the French forces could not use many
of these without extensive renovation,
and are hinting that Paris might bill
the US for "negative residual value."
Suharto's government is continuing
the public mudslinging match with
Peking, while trying to hold down popu-
lar harassment of Chinese in the country-
side. This weekend the recently ex-
pelled Indonesian charg?who suffered
some indignities at the hands of howling
mobs in China, is scheduled to return
home. The government will try to keep
anti-Chinese demonstrations within
bounds.
