OVER WHAT IS: GOING ON IN CUBA

NING ON THE 30?DAY PERIOD FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF FOREIGN FORCES.

C. THE SOUVANNA GOVERNMENT HAS DECIDED TO HOLD UP RECOGNI-
TION OF THE EAST GERMAN REGIME, AND IS THINKING OF WORKING OUT 50X1
SOME SORT OF COMMERCIAL OR CONSULAR ARRANGEMENT WHICH WOULD NOT
BE OBJECTIONABLE TO WEST GERMANY..
IT APPEARS
THAT NATIONALIST CHINA YESTERDAY BROKE RELATIONS WITH LAOS AS A
RESULT OF VIENTIANE'S RECOGNITION OF PEIPING. SOUTH VIETNAM'S
DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO GO ALONG WITH A "TWO VIETNAMS" SITU-
ATION IS HANGING IN THE BALANCE.
3. VIETNAM:

BLOCK THE SHAH' S PROGRAM.
