Congo All US citizens in Kisangani (Stan- leyville) are evidently safe following the rebel withdrawal. Seven US citizens--wives and chil- dren of missionaries--were evacuated yesterday. The evacuees report that the remaining US missionaries are un- harmed, and they believe that two US soldiers who were in Kisangani when the fighting broke out are also safe. Two more evacuation flights are scheduled for today. It is still not clear whether the rebels took any hos- tages with them when they left. 2. Nigeria The federal campaign is still bogged down. 3. Middle East The Soviets are trying to get Arab approval of a compromise resolution in the General Assembly based on withdrawal of Israeli forces and termination of the state of war. The Soviet draft resolution calls for Israeli withdrawal without fixing a time limit. Discussion of other aspects of the problem--such as ending the state of war--would be transferred to the Security Council, where discus- sions would begin "as soon as withdrawal starts." Up until now, Moscow has.in- sisted that there can be no solution until Israeli forces have been pulled out.
