East Germany- West Germany C, possibility that some space related vehicles may be tested possibly including boosted re-entry to simulate conditions encountered on return from lunar missions. d. Moscow says the tests for the next six weeks will involve "new versions of multistage carrier rockets." e, Three Soviet range instru- mentation ships are now approaching the farther of the two impact areas which will be used. a. West German Social Democrats will be in for a bad time this week when they enter East Germany on their way to and from a meeting in West Berlin. b. Indications so far are that they will be subjected at least to an intensive propaganda barrage, I 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100120001-1 t17-71 C=1 l=1 I- t= 1=t i=1 rf:=1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100120001-1 4. Congo c. The Social Democrats have always made a point of travelling overland rather than by air corridor to meetings in West Berlin to emphasize German unity and their right to travel through East Germany. a. Gardiner is now somewhat encouraged by Adoulats action yes- terday in agreeing to halt troop movements in north Katanga, in accepting arrangements for deposit of Katangan foreign exchange earn- ings, and in going ahead (next week) with the amnesty law to be followed by an oath of allegiance by top Katangan officers. b. Barring the always- present possibility of last minute hitches, agreements on these matters were to have been signed last night, C, Adoula will submit the draft constitution today for consid- eration by assembled provisional presi- dents and legislative heads, Tshombe was invited by Adoula to attend, but probably will not do so. A Katangan representative will probably be there, however. This promises to be some go-around.

Yemen a. We have little further of interest to report on this situation. b. claim in Cairo's press that Sadah has been recovered by revolutionary forces. Marib is still held by Hasan's tribesmen. c. Moscow is dispatching five more AN-12 cargo aircraft to Egypt, presumably to speed assistance to Yemen. Cairo is short of trained air crews to run them and has been trying to round some up in Czecho- slovakia and Yugoslavia as well as in the USSR. d.' The runways in Yemen are treacherous, and, although Soviet pilots have recently landed AN-12's there, the operation is at best tricky. 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100120001-1 50X1 QUA] 50X1 1=1 r Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/23 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001100120001-1 NOTES A, Cuba-China j Peiping ships it has chartered to carry cargoes to Cuba are refusing to continue their voyage. C. Common Market-US The Common Market countries are getting steamed up over application of "buy American" regulations in awarding defense contracts. In response to urgent pressure from Italy, Belgium and France, their trade committee will probably begin to consider what can be done about it. c,...
