1, Berlin
2. Congo
The East Germans are continuing to
behave as though they are expecting rising
tension in Berlin. Since last Friday
there has been a marked increase in their
construction activities along the sector
and zonal borders of the city. Aerial
reconnaissance reveals that they have
stockpiled construction materials along
the length of the borders. Over the
weekend, the armed workers' militia went
through an exercise close by the Wall,
where they have not been seen since last
August.
a. Tshombe is trying to pressure
Union Miniere into advancing from $80 to
$120 million in foreign exchange against
future mineral shipments. Tshombe wants
such a nest-egg in order to be able to
ride out any economic embargo. He is
now in Geneva and intends to go on to
Brussels to put further pressure on 50X1
company officials.

3. Disarmament Conference
F-
? Ambassador Dean is having heavy
going with the British on the new US
proposal. The British argue that we
will not be able to get off the ground
at all unless we give figures--single-
digit ones-- for the number of control
posts and on-site inspections we want.
Barring this, they say, we should go
for a treaty which covers atmospheric,
underwater and outer-space, but not
underground, testing. Dean thinks that
the British are working from a scientific
assessment different from ours and that
he will have to close that gap before he
can bring them around.

NOTES
A. Another test of strength between President Goulart and the con-
servative Brazilian congress should occur later this week.
Goulart plans to ask the congress to remove many of the checks
it has placed on the executive power and is giving some thought
to closing down the congress if he is refused.
B. Sukarno has told Ambassador Jones that his decision on accepting
the West New Guinea agreement is solid and that Subandrio will
leave for New York next Thursday for the formal signing.
C.
A top TASS official visiting India has told 50X1
that the Chinese Communists are "raising 50X1
hell" about the projected MIG deal. Ambassador Galbraith comments
that this is exactly what the Soviets would want the Indians to
believe,but he is more inclined than not to believe it.
