Haiti a. Bosch's radio speech last evening, though tough and threaten- ing, did not commit him to immediate military action against Haiti. He did not specify what he would do if his ultimatum, which runs for 24 hours from the time of his speech, does not bring results. b. Bosch has indi- cated that he intends to do nothing before Wednesday, which will give the OAS time to enter the picture, and permit Bosch to ease off. C. The OAS investigation Com- mission (Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, and the US) planned to fly to Port-au-Prince today. d. Bosch also charged in his radio broadcast that four of the Trujillos have arrived in Haiti. They took off by air from Jamaica yesterday afternoon.

Jordan e. Duvalier shows no signs of moderating his course. Since his request for withdrawal of the US naval mission he has jailed the mayor of Port-au-Prince, apparently for refusing to make an anti-white, anti-US speech, and has broken re- lations with the Dominican Republic. f. ?In Port-au-Prince, the ar- rest or killing of suspected Duvalier enemies is continuing. Large num- bers of former military officers have taken refuge in Latin American embassies. a. Cairo's Mlddle East News Agency alleged yesterday that two Jordanian battalions have mutinied and have been joined by the national guard. We feel sure that we would have confirmation by now if this were more than Egyptian incitement. b. Jordanian troops are patrol- ling the streets of Amman and other key areas but the situation is de- scribed as calm. c. A further indication that something was planned Saturday is a report from Embassy Amman on the first pickup on Friday of a new .(Cont'd) For The President Only?Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001600070001 2 1 -) ii r 1 - t i f lf i L== f_1 -1 =1 f t Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001600070001-2 . Cuba clandestine radio, presumably Egyptian, broadcasting into Jordan. The radio, calling itself the "Voice of the Jordan Arab Republic," was shrilly anti-Husayn. a. Castro has been accompanied to Moscow by his Minister of Economy and a military contingent including the Cuban Chief of Staff. We as- sume from this that economic-military aid talks will be in progress at the same time that Castro is receiving the full ceremonial treatment. b. ?There is press speculation but no hard information on the pos- sibility that Fidel will move on to Peiping. the Soviet Union and Algeria on the itinerary. c. The Soviet ship Transbalt, which passed Gibraltar this 'weekend, appears bound for Cuba with an arms cargo. (Cont d) r. ? I . I -1- .
