The three princes are scheduled to put their signatures on a formal coalition agreement today. Souvanna, will then begin the moves leading up to submission of the new government for the King's approval, probably early next week. b. As recounted to Brown by Phoumi, Souvanna is due the credit for taking the negotiations over the last hurdle. The meeting came close to foundering over how many places were to go to "neutralists" based in Vientiane. Phoumi says that Souvanna's insistence that Souphannouvong give ground on this issue produced a table- pounding and furniture-kicking exchange between the two princes before Souphannouvong yielded. c. This display of firmness by Souvanna seems to have had its effect in giving Phoumi a somewhat more hope- ful view of the future than before. Brown quotes him as saying "1 think this will work out." d. Pathet Lao broadcasts yester- day were listing Souphannouvong as first deputy premier and Phoumi as second deputy, but the agreement in fact gives them equal footing. e. The Thais are showing alarm over the cabinet slate, particularly over the appointment of Quinim as foreign minister.

Soviet submarine missile system 3. Peruvian election There is virtually conclusive evidence of the launching of another ballistic missile by a nuclear-powered Soviet submarine last Friday on the Northern Fleet test range. We cannot say positively that the missile reached the range's 2,000-nautical-mile limit but there are some indications that it did: this we pons system has passed out of the research stage into its operational-development phase. With 25% of the votes still uncounted, none of the three major candidates has a clear hold on the necessary 34%. Amidst a stream of partisan claims and counterclaims, however, there are some signs that Belaunde has pulled ahead. Further- more, Embassy Lima sees a good chance that, if the election goes to the Peruvian congress, Belaunde will come out on top, although it seems doubtful that any of the three candi- dates could form a viable government without making a deal with one of the other two. 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A000800270001-9 I= =I I= 17-1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A000800270001-9 4.
