The CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN is produced by the Director of Central
Intelligence to meet his responsibilities for providing current intelligence bearing on issues
of national security to the President, the National Security Council, and other senior
government officials. It is produced in consultation with the Departments of State and
Defense. When, because of the time factor, adequate consultation with the department of
primary concern is not feasible, items or portions thereof are produced by the Central
Intelligence Agency and enclosed with brackets.
Interpretations of intelligence information in this publication represent immediate and
preliminary views which are subject to modification in the light of further information
and more complete analysis.
Certain intelligence items in this publication may be designated specifically for no further
dissemination. Other intelligence items may be disseminated further, but only on a
need-to-know basis.
The CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN is published in both a Top Secret Code-
word and a Secret edition. Recipients of the more tightly held Codeword version should
not discuss it or its Codeword contents with recipients of the Secret edition.

4: GREECE: George Papadopoulos addressed a resent-
ful, but probably resigned, Greek electorate yes-
terday, capping a heavy-handed campaign intended to
assure ratification of a new republic with himself
at its head.
Papadopoulos, increasingly estranged from his
fellow officers in recent days, warned that he would
deal harshly with divisions in the country. He
promised that, if elected president of the new re-
public through a "yes" vote in tomorrow's plebiscite,
he would:
--allow the formation of political parties,
--lift martial law and restore full individual
freedoms,
--refrain from engaging in partisan politics
as president, and
--implement the entire constitution and all
laws of the country.
Papadopoulos promised, however, that the revolution--
presumably his government�would continue even in
the unlikely event that the republic were voted down.
Meanwhile, reports of unrest in the military
continue. The US Defense Attache in Athens charac-
terizes the mood of the military as tense.
recently
warned Papadopoulos that many right-wing army of
are apprehensive about the course he has em-
barked upon. At heart, these officers are worried
that Papadopoulos as president will usurp their own
personal power, although their warning to Papadop-
oulos was that the displacement of the military re-
gime by a republic would weaken the nation and dis-
rupt its alliances. 4111

4: The plebiscite could provide the issue Papa-
dopoulos military critics have been waiting for
to move against him. They have been signaling
their disaffection with increasing urgency, but
they may have waited too long. The junta leader
appears confident that they will not risk splitting
the armed forces in a last-minute effort to block
this step to supreme power.
