Yesterday General Nasution, head of the Indo- nesian Congress, told a student delegation that its demand for Congress to remove Sukarno from office and bring him to trial would be implemented. Some members of Parliament are also calling for his trial. The government nevertheless apparently still hopes to persuade the President to resign voluntarily and leave the country. Results of an official investigation into Sukarno's involvement in the abortive coup plot of October 1965 have been forwarded to General Suharto. This and other evidence being collected could be used against him should he refuse to resign. A further sign of growing pressures on Sukarno is a report that leaders of his National Party have joined the attempt to persuade him to step down. 8 Feb 67 6 TOP S1CRET Approved for Release: 2018/04/17 C06571783
