INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM
The Indonesian Situation
(Report - As of : x. m. EDT)
1. After almost two days of political confusion, President
Sukarno has apparently re-established his authority over the
government and armed forces of Indonesia. His first public
statement since the unsuccessful coup attempt of the leftist-
oriented '"30 September Movement" has been followed by an out-
pouring of pledges of loyalty to him by the country's principal
military and civilian leaders, including Air Force Chief.Dani
who earlier supported the coup. No loyalty statement has yet 25X1
come from Indonesian Communist Party (PI#I) leaders.
3. The US Embassy reports that Djakarta is quiet with
Suharto's regular army forces firmly in control. Medan and
Surabaja are also reported to be quiet. However, Suharto's
headquarters remains concerned about dissident units of Central
Java's Diponegoro Division which may still control parts of that
province including the major cities of Semarang and Jogjakarta,
and armed clashes involving these troops may have occurred.
There has also been some shooting between Suharto's forces and
small Communist paramilitary bands near Djakarta and Bandung

4. The extent of Communist involvement in the
Movement" is not yet clear,
Pranoto who is Danivs friend an sympathetic to the PKI, as
Army commander probably indicates Sukarno's reluctance at this
time to sanction-strong moves by the Army against either the
Communists or the?r military allies.
