THE PRESIDENT'S INTELLIGENCE CHECKLIST-7-29 JUNE 1963
1. USSR:
A. KHRUSHCHEV'S RAMBLING 21 JUNE SPEECH TO THE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE PLENUM, JUST PUBLISHED, LOOKS LIKE AN EFFORT TO
STRENGTHEN DISCIPLINE WITHIN THE SOVIET PARTY BEFORE THE FORTH-
COMING CONFRONTATION WITH THE CHINESE.
B. LASHING OUT AT BOTH DEVIATIONISTS AND RECALCITRANT
INTELLECTUALS HE WARNED THAT DEVIATION FROM THE KREMLIN LINE
COULD GET ONE THROWN OUT OF THE PARTY.
C. THE SPEECH GAVE NO NEW INSIGHTS ON MOSCOW'S TACTICS
IN THE 5 JULY SINO-SOVIET MEETING OR ON SOVIET FOREIGN POLICY.

OF EAST EUROPEAN PARTY CHIEFS IN EAST BERLIN--ALL BUT RUMANIA'S
GHEORGHIU-DEJ--TO COORDINATE STRATEGY FOR NEXT WEEK'S MEETING.
2. USSR - COMMUNIST CHINA:
A. PEIPING HAS SCORED A POINT IN ITS BATTLE TO LINE UP
SUPPORT IN SOVIET-LED FOREIGN COMMUNIST PARTIES.
B. PRO-CHINESE "REBELS" HAVE SPLIT THE BELGIAN COMMUNIST
PARTY, AND ARE NOW BIDDING FOR CONTROL. THEY MAY NOT MAKE IT,
BUT THEIR SPLINTER GROUP WILL NEVERTHELESS BE A USEFUL TOOL
FOR PEIPING.
3. BRITISH GUIANA:
A, THERE NOW APPEARS TO BE SOME PROSPECT OF SETTLING THE
71 DAY OLD STRIKE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH WOULD LEAVE JAGAN'S
GOVERNMENT SUBSTANTIALLY INTACT.

E. AT THE SAME TIME, NO PROGRESS IS BEING MADE IN BUD?
DHIST?GOVERNMENT RELATIONS. THE TWO?WEEK TIME LIMIT THE BUD?
DHISTS SET FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO DEMONSTRATE ITS INTENTION TO
END RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION COMES TO AN END TOMORROW.
5. NOTES:
A. BRAZIL: GOULART APPEARS TO HAVE BACKED OFF FROM TRY?
ING TO ARRANGE A MEETING WITH PRESIDENT KENNEDY IN ROME. HIS
SPOKESMAN TOLD THE PRESS HE DID NOT RULE OUT AN INFORMAL ENCOUNTER
BUT THE "NORTH AMERICANS ARE NOT GIVEN TO DEALING ON SUBSTANTIVE
MATTERS WITHOUT CAREFUL ADVANCE PREPARATIONS." ON THE SUBJECT
OF VISITORS TO ROME, WE STILL HAVE NO INDICATION OF A DE GAULLE
VISIT,
B. IRAN: RELIGIOUS LEADERS AND OTHERS OPPOSED TO THE
SHAH'S REFORM PROGRAM SEEM TO BE BREWING UP MORE DEMONSTRATIONS
FOR MID?JULY. THE SECURITY FORCES, ALERT TO THIS POSSIBILITY,
WILL PROBABLY RESPOND MORE QUICKLY THAN THEY DID EARLY THIS
MONTH.
C. CZECHOSLOVAKIA: THE GROUP WITHIN THE CZECH PARTY THAT
HAS BEEN DEMANDING SPEEDY DE?STALINIZATION HAS NOT YET BEEN
SILENCED BY NOVOTNY'S SHARP REPLY OF 12 JUNE. HE WILL PROBABLY
HAVE TO USE STRONGER METHODS TO RESTORE PARTY DISCIPLINE.
D. HAITI: THE DUVALIER GOVERNMENT MAY HAVE SUCCEEDED IN
GETTING SOME ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE FROM POLAND. 50X1
HAITI WILL BARTER AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS FOR POLISH CEMENT 50X1
