INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM
Situation in the Dominican Republic
(Report as of , pm T
1. The Dominican stalemate continues with none of
the parties -- President, military chiefs, or rebel leaders
willing either to back down or to initiate forcible action
against the others.
2. Immediate interest still centers on the general
strike called for tomorrow by extreme leftist groups. .e
strike's planners apparently have moved beyond demanding
the departure of the military chiefs and will insist as 25X1
well that "Caamano must stay". However, Juan Bosch's Dominican
Revolutionary Party (PRD) still opposes the strike
3. Angel Liz, President of the Central Electoral Com-
mission, has visited the Army Chief of Staff and Defense
Minister, urging them to obey the Presidential order sending
them out of the country. The military chiefs continue to
insist that the rebel leaders included in the order must
leave first, after which the military will be willing to
"discuss" the situation with the President. Military leaders
probably are counting on the Inter American Peace Force's
refusing to coa erate in an move to force them out of the
country.
