DAILY BRIEF
LATE rrqm
* Preliminary analysis of latest Bulganin letter: Pre-
mier Bulganin's letter to President Eisenhower delivered
on 2 February seeks to portray the President's 12 January
message as unresponsive to previous Soviet proposals for
a summit conference. Bulganin reiterated opposition to a
preparatory meeting of foreign ministers, but attempted to
carry the US-Soviet exchange one step nearer a summit
conference by emphasizing that there should be no difficulty
in solving the procerlurni nroblems for such a meeting through
diplomatic channels.

BULLETIN
I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
USSR-Syria: The Soviet Union has informed Syria
that it will soon announce that the terms of a Soviet-
Syrian economic agreement, presumably that of Octo-
ber 1957, have been improved to match the more favor-
able terms extended by Moscow to the Egyptians, Syrian
leaders who believed that Moscow initially opposed Egyp-
tian-Syrian union may now interpret the Dromise as a
Soviet endorsement of the union.
USSR - Rapacki plan: Following five days of talks
between Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyko and Polish For-
eign Minister Rapacki in Moscow, the two governments an-
nounced full Warsaw Pact approval of the Rapacki Plan, and
a willingness to discuss an "effective system of controls" for
a nuclear-free zone in central Europe. These discussions
were probably a follow-up to the mid-January talks between
Khrushchev and Gomulka. Khrushchev, in a London Times
interview printed on the same day, stated that the USSR,
"did not exclude the possibility" of supplementing the plan
by an agreement on conventional troops in the areas con-
cerned. The emphasis on control measures in the announce-
ment is aimed at further stimulating Western interest.
� Communist reaction to US earth satellite: The Sino-
Soviet bloc countries have informed their people of the
launching of the US earth satellite, but have pointed dis-
paragingly to the differences in size between Explorer and
Sputnik II. Official Soviet spokesmen have extended con-
gratulations, while one Polish scientist in Warsaw asserted
that the American achievement is "far more important" than
the two Russian Sputniks.
