THE COMMUNIST BLOC *USSR: On 5 July at about 1156 EDT (1556 GMT), the USK:II-a:ached a vehicle from Tyura Tam to the previously designated Pacific impact area. A TASS announcement stated that this is the first in a series of such tests to be conducted between now and 31 July. Preliminary analysis onfirms the gen- eral success of the launching as announced by TASS.

IChrushchev sent a letter on 2 July to General Gursel offering economic aid, ac- cording to Foreign Minister Sarper, who pleaded with Ambas- sador Warren that the US do all it can to help expedite the re- lease of counterpart funds and give some indication of the level of next year's assistance. Sarper said the government would J.lilce to reject the offer but claimed there is "heavy pressure" from Moscow to accept. In June, Ankara turned down a Soviet offer of funds industrial plants, and technical assistance. (Page 1) IL ASIA-AFRICA Cyprus: The last obstacle preventing Cypriot independence in August appears to have been removed with an agreement be- tween Archbishop Makarios and Turkish Cypriot leader Kuchuk resolving a dispute over the composition of the future Cypriot civil service. This followed the announcement on 1 July that "full agreement" had been reached between British and Cypriot nego- tiators on all outstanding issues.

Among the Greek Cypriots, the large Communist= led party can be expected to increase agitation for eventual re- moval of the British military hARAS CM thP Wand Ghana - Communist China: The announcement, in a joint communique released on 5 July, that Ghana and Communist China will exchange ambassadors appears to have been deliberately timed to coincide with the inauguration of Ghana's new republican constitution. Nkru.mah's regime has maintained since Ghana be- came independent in 1957 that it "inherited" Britain's recognition of Communist China; it is believed to have decided some time ago to establish formai relations with Peiping at an opportune time. The Chinese probably believe the diplomatic exchange will encour- age other emergent African republics to follow suit and may have chosen to press the matter with Accra now in hopes of influencing the Congo, which is uncommitted to either China. Peiping, which is in active competition with Taipei for recognition in tropical Africa, already has an embassy in Guincla DAILY BRIEF ii TO 6 July 60 ii � Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189353 Khrushchev Again Offers Economic Aid to Turkey j t The USSR is attempting to take advantage of Ankara's current economic plight to promote friendly relations with the provisional Turkish government and possibly to strength- en the hand of any elements in the new regime which are in- clined toward a policy of neutralism. On 2 July Soviet Am- bassador Ryzhov delivered a letter from Khrushchev to Gen- eral Gursel offering economic aid, according to Foreign Min- ister .rper, who talked with Ambassador Warren the same day. The offer--described by rper as "you say how much"-- probably repeats in large part an offer made by Ryzhov in mid- June to provide Turkey with funds, technical assistance, and industrial plants. Gursel rejected this overture, as he did an invitation in an earlier letter from Khrushchev urging Gursel to carry out the exchange of visits which had been agreed to by Menderes prior to the coup. I.Sarper told Ambassador Warren that the Turkish Govern- ment�including the Committee of National Unity, General Gursel, and the cabinet--wished to refuse Khrushchev's latest overture as it had the earlier one, but claimed that there is "heavy pressure" from Moscow to accept and that Ankara's financial situation is "desperate." .rper noted that he dis- liked discussing American assistance in the context of Mos- cow's overture, but pleaded that it is imperative that the "United States do as much as possible as quickly as possible." He also detailed a number of measures ordered by the Turk- ish Government which will conserve foreign exchange I 6 July 60 Ap5r�oVe�d-fOr-RE;:.Z-210f3 C03189353 Page 1 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189353 %soli Nee THE PRESIDENT The Vice President Executive Offices of the White House Special Assistant for National Security Affairs Scientific Adviser to the President Director of the Budget Director, Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization Director, National Aeronautics and Space Administration Special Assistant for Security Operations Coordination Chairman, Board of Consultants on Foreign Intelligence Activities Special Assistant for Foreign Economic Policy Executive Secretary, National Security Council The Treasury Department The Secretary of the Treasury The Department of State The Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Deputy Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs The Deputy Under Secretary of State for Administration The Counselor Director, International Cooperation Administration The Director of Intelligence and Research The Department of Defense The Secretary of Defense The Deputy Secretary of Defense Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs The Secretary of the Army The Secretary of the Navy The Secretary of the Air Force The Chairman, The Joint Chiefs of Staff The Director, The Joint Staff Chief of Staff, United States Army Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Chief of Staff, United States Air Force Commandant, United States Marine Corps Assistant to Secretary of Defense for Special Operations Director for Intelligence, The Joint Staff Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of Army Director of Naval Intelligence, Department of Navy Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, Department of the Air Force Supreme Allied Commander, Europe Commander in Chief, Pacific The Department of Commerce The Secretary of Commerce Federal Bureau of Investigation The Director Atomic Energy Commission The Chairman National Security Agency The Director National Indications Center The Director 1 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189353 Approved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189353 T P 12 51- K '7Z 040 04'7 ;704 /e7z e 7, VZ VZ rZ VZ Ve 04y e'vz r,9 Zkpproved for Release: 2020/03/13 C03189353WZ/Z/Z/ZZZI
