DAILY BRIEF
19 JUNE 1967
1_ United Nations
2. Arab States
Kosygin and the other delegation
heads spent a rather busy day in New
York yesterday conferring with one an-
other and getting their? lines straight
for today's General Assembly, session.
The Soviet press generally main-
tains its harsh line against the US and
Israel. Unofficially, however, Moscow
seems to be probing for US reaction to
various elements of a possible Middle
East settlement.
The internal repercussions of the
Arab military defeat continue bubbling
?up in various Arab states. In Egypt,
Nasir yesterday took over the top post
in his political machine, replacing a
man who had apparently become a rival in
recent days. Also, a new cabinet is to
be announced today.
In Syria, the war has altered the
precarious balance of political forces
and major changes may be in the offing.

3. Libya
. Communist China
5. South Vietnam
As for the US Wheelus base, the
Libyan prime minister told Ambassador
Newsom that it would be quite acceptable
if detailed discussions on withdrawal
are deferred until August or September.
He would like, however, some early pre-
liminary, talks that would give the ap-
pearance of prompt forward movement.
Peking's sixth nuclear test, car-
ried out at Lop Nor late on Friday,
Washington time, was as expected its
largest to date.
Political temperatures are already
rising in anticipation of next fall's
election
Ambassador Bunker is very, concerned.
He reports that all political elements
are aware of what is going on and feel
that Ky is getting away with it only be-
cause the Americans support him and con-
done his tactics.

6. Soviet Union
7. France
8. Rumania
De Gaulle's self-serving stand on
the Middle East war is unpopular, not
only with the French public but also
among many of the General's stron est
backers.
