GENERAL
dopesian saute ez acted--US
Representative Cochran in Batavia points out that the Nether-
lands Government has closed the door to negotiations between
the Indonesian Republic and the Netherlands by rejecting the
premises of the recent US aide-memoire. Cochran believes
that there is "no alternative" to immediate Security Council
debate on the Indonesian question. He therefore recommends
that the US withdraw from the Good Offices Committee and
reiterate in the Security Council that the US favors the "{draft
agreement" officially accepted by the GOC as a basis for
negotiation. ( The Dutch reply to the US aide-memotre Indicts
the Republic for its failure to recognize the sovereignty of the
Netherlands during the interim period prior to the establishment
of a United States of Indonesia. The reply declares that unless
the Republic recognizes Dutch sovereignty, the Netherlands
Government will be obliged to make a "final decision" on the
method of "implementing its pledges to the peoples of the
Netherlands and Indonesia.")

2. COSTA RICA: Agreement with Caribbean L Won reached-
25x1 that the Costa Rican Government and the
Caribbean Legion have reached an agreement providing for
the inclusion of Legion officers, men, and materiel in the Costa
Rican army.
(CIA Comment: CIA believes that in order to obtain the
support of the Caribbean Legion, President F igueres of Costa
Rica has probably had to promise future support for the Legion
in destroying the Somoza regime in Nicaragua. CIA estimates
that the Legion will now also have greater Guatemalan assistance.)
