THE PRESIDENT'S INTELLIGENCE CHECKLIST--18 AUGUST 1962
1. CUBA
THERE ARE. GROUNDS FOR THINKING THAT THE LARGE INFLUX OF
SOVIET MILITARY EQUIPMENT AND TECHNICIANS INTO CUBA LATELY
COULD BE CONNECTED WITH THE BEGINNING OF CONSTRUCTION OF SUR-
FACE-TO-AIR MISSILE SITES.
SHIPMENTS HAVE INCLUDED QUANTITIES OF ELECTRONIC, TRANSPORTA-
TION AND CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT
2. ARGENTINA
ARGENTINA'S NAVY CHIEFS, WHO HOLD SOMETHING LIKE A SWING
VOTE AMONG THE MILITARY, HAD, AT LAST REPORT, COME DOWN ON
THE SIDE OF KEEPING GUIDO AS PRESIDENT AND PRESERVING THE
FRAGMENTS OF CONSTITUTIONALITY.
THE US EMBASSY IN BUENOS AIRES FELT YESTERDAY THAT
IT COULD SAY THAT "THE CLOUDS SEEM TO BE LIFTING." THERE ARE
NO DETAILS YET ON WHAT KIND OF A DEAL WAS STRUCK BEHIND THE
SCENES, BUT IT WOULD SEEM THAT THE GUIDO GOVERNMENT HAS AGREED
TO RESTRICT FREE POLITICAL ACTIVITY FOR A FIXED PERIOD OF TIME.

3, LAOS
EVIDENCE ON THE WITHDRAWAL OF NORTH VIETNAMESE TROOPS
FROM LAOS CONTINUES TO COME IN. YESTERDAY,2
THE NORTH VIETNAMESE
FORCES IN THE NHOMMARATH AREA IN CENTRAL LAOS "ARE TO movg
BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY ON 19, 20 AND 21 AUGUST." NO MATTER
HOW MANY INDICATIONS OF THIS KIND SHOW UP, HOWEVER, WE DO
NOT EXPECT TO KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHAT PORTION OF THE NORTH
VIETNAMESE HAVE BEENPULLED OUT. SOME PART OF THE FORCE, WE
FEEL SURE, WILL REMAIN BEHIND BOTH TO SUPPORT THE PATHET LAO
AND TO PROTECT THE INFILTRATION ROUTE INTO SOUTH VIETNAM.
4. CONGO
THE SITUATION IN NORTHERN KATANGA SEEMS TO BE ESSENTIALLY
UNCHANGED FROM YESTERDAY, PRESS DISPATCHES ARE REPORTING CON?
TINUING CLASHES ggliwEgm CENTRAL GOVERNMENT AND KATANGAN FORCES
BUT THERE IS NO HARD INFORMATION AS TO THEIR EXTENT OR OUT?
COME.
