IV. WATCH COMMITTEE CONCLUSIONS
L No Sino-Soviet bloc country intends to initiate hostilities
against the United States or its possessions in the imme-
diate future
B. LNo Sino-Soviet bloc country intends deliberately to ini-
tiate direct military action against US forces abroad, US
allies, or areas peripheral to the bloc in the immediate fu-
ture..
C. [The scale of Communist bloc airlift operations associated
with the Laotian situation is consistent with what we be-
lieve to be a ,decision to provide sufficient support to the
Kong Le/Pathet Lao forces to prevent establishment of
effective control over the country by an anti-Communist
Lao government. This course of action will involve. a) an
intensification of Pathet Lao guerrilla activity, b) the

continuation of support to the Kong Le/Pathet Lao forces in
material and personnel, and c) an increase in the numerical
strength of Pathet Lao forces,
Lit appears unlikely that the Communist bloc has decided
to intervene openly with its own identifiable military forces
t this time. A decision on its part to do so in the future,. how-
ever, is not precluded and probably would be dependent in part
on the bloc's estimate of its chances of success in achieving a
military or political settlement; acceptable to the Communists

Delivery of Soviet Naval Vessels to Indonesia
LTwo Soviet
Submarine c asers,c owe by a. freighter
and a tug, apparently are being delivered to Indonesia. un-
der the naval aid agreement concluded by
Admiral Martadinata during his visit to Moscow this sum-
mer, The four. Soviet ships--out of Vladivostok--were
sighted west of Okinawa on 19 December. The Soviet Union
delivered ships to Indonesia in 1959 from Vladivostok em-
ploying similar methods
Previous deliveries of bloc naval units to Indonesia,
included four destroyers,
two submarines, an eight su chasers. Under the new naval
agreement, Moscow is to provide a light cruiser, two de-
stroyers, four submarines, six minesweepers, eight patrol
craft, ten motor torpedo boats, and an assortment of auxiliary
ships. In addition, amphibious equipment- -consisting of land-
ing vehicles and tanks--and artillery are scheduled to be sup-
plied to the Indonesian Marine Corp
LA high-level Indonesian mission, including Foreign Min-
ister Subandrio, Air.Force Chief of Staff Marshal Suryadarma,
Army Chief of Staff General Nasution, and several ranking
naval officers, is due to arrive in Moscow later this month.
The make-up of the delegation and the apparent initiation of
Soviet naval deliveries to Indonesia suggest principal empha-
sis during the visit will be given to negotiating the air force's
requests of last July for additional Soviet equipment. At that
time the air force asked Moscow to provide two squadrons of
MIG-19 or MIG-21.jet fighters and one squadron of TU-16
jet bombers, as well as ground-to-air and air-to-air rockets.
In addition, General Nasution--who has been thus far reluc-
tant to follow the lead of the navy and the air force in procur-
ing large amounts of bloc materiel--may use this opportunity
to explore again the possibility of accepting large-scale Soviet
arms aid

"independent" and neutralist foreign policy after his inaugu-
ration on 31 January. F_ I
the latter is "de-
ermine to disengage Brazil from economic dependence on
the United States" and intends to reorient economic policy
toward Britain and Europe, where he feels there are now
adequate financial resources. Quadros has reportedly been
assured by British and German bankers that their countries
will grant Brazil loans and economic aij
,Dantas has been mentioned as either a cabinet possibility or
the first Brazilian ambassador to the USSR after diplomatic re-
lations, broken in 1947, are resumed. Quadros, previously la-
beled a "Wall Street lackey" by the leftist press, promised
during the election campaign to re-establish diplomatic rela-
tions with Moscow and to recognize Communist China, Through
Dantas, Quadros reportedly authorized Vice President Goulart--
who visited Moscow from 5 to 14 December-to take the "first
steps" in establishing closer cooperation with the USSR. Gou-
lart had previously planned to visit Communist China, but his
unexpected return to Paris on 14 December was interpreted by
the press as indicating he has abandoned the idea
Quadros, who is vacationing in Europe after an eye opera-
tion, still hopes to arrange a meeting of neutralist leaders on
the Yugoslav island of Brioni. After his return to Brazil he in-
tends to make short visits to all Latin American countries, with
the possible exception of Argentina and Paraguay.
