Congo: Premier Adoula remains reluctant to undertake
military operations against Katanga. He told Ambassador
Gullion on 2 October that in order to quiet the "activists" in
25X1 I his cabinet he had threatened to resign. Congolese army
leaders are, however, reportedly engaged in making plans
for a much larger attack on Katanga than they had previously

envisioned. The plan is to involve nine battalions, including j
The Congolese command has no training in large-scale
military operations, transport and logistic facilities are in-
adequate, and liaison between Mobutu's Leopoldville head-
quarters and the various army components is tenuous. Should

Situation in the Congo
[Reports from Leopoldville and Elisabethville indicate that
both the UN and the Katangans are confident of their military
superiority. UN commander McKeown, in a 30 September con-
versation with Ambassador Gullion, expressed confidence con-
cerning the command's future activities in Katanga. He ascribed
the UN's present posture mainly to an unwillingness, based on
humanitarian considerations, to go on the offensive. He depre-
cated the Katangan "attacks," which he said were actually ill-
directed mortar and small-arms fire; he asserted they could
not be termed offensive operations. McKeown indicated he was
sure that with the addition of a small jet fighter capability, the
-
arrival of twenty armored personnel carriers, and some re
group n of forces, the UN would have the Katangan situation
in hand. 1
The American Consulate in Elisabethville, while confirm-
ing the existence of an attitude among UN troops that "next time
we shall finish the job we started last time," reports that the
UN Elisabethville headquarters has no intelligence organization.
Moreover, UN troops have been ostracized by Europeans and by
Katangan officials and thus have little chance to gain information
by informal contacts. The consulate adds, however, that the
local UN representatives seem to be going ahead with a plan
whose details they refuse to divulge. They apparently continue
to feel that the Katangan forces are impotent with or without
their white officers.
The consulate reports that on the Katangan side there is a
mixture of confusion and outspoken confidence, with much talk
of a "last-ditch stand" and "whipping the UN again." There is a
widespread feeling that guerrilla warfare is inevitable if fight-
ing breaks out again, and the white mercenaries who remain in
the Katanga forces reportedly are being reorganized in small,
guerrilla-type units. The Katanga government reportedly is also,
distributing small arms to Africans throughout southern Katangan
