A recent intercept indicates that North Viet-
namese logistics units in southern Laos plani to
continue their activity after a Laos cease-fire.
On 10 February, a major logistics authority directed
two subordinates to complete by the 28th all re-
pairs and improvements to eastern road corridor
routes through the Tchepone - Ban Bac area. The
units were also notified that after a cease-fire,
these routes would become primary roads.
This concentration of activity and the
designation of the routes .as "primary"
suggest that the North Vietnamese plan
to use the eastern road corridor to a
greater extent than they have since the
completion of Route 29 to the west. This
road may now be used less.

NOTES
Italy - North Vietnam:
USSR-Cuba: The Soviet ships in Cuban waters ap-
pear about to start an exercise in the Gulf of Mex-
ico. In the:past two days thectuiSet, tanker, de-
stroyer,. and probably the F-class submarine have
left port and headed in that direction. The Soviet
contingent, which has been in the Caribbean since
early December-, may make a final port call in Havana
before Steaming home.
? Dominican Republic: The small guerrilla band
that landed'ten days ago remains at large, but the
Balaguer government is relaxing its special security
measures. Many detained members of the opposition :
Dominican Revolutionary Party have been released,
and the government says it is no longer trying to
arrest. the party's leader., Juan Bosch. He remains
in hiding, however, and. defiant statement from
him suggests that chances are dim for a return to
the attitude of mutual tolerance that formerly pre-
vailed between his party and President Balaguer.
