DAILY BRIEF
16 JUNE 1967
1. Arab States -
Israel
2. Libya
So far, there is no word that Kosygin's
example has persuaded any other chief of
state to come to New York for the General
Assembly session.
The Arab states are by no means happy
with Moscow's initiative for the special
session, though most of them finally went
alon with it.
The Arabs agreed yesterday to hold a
foreign ministers' meeting in Kuwait this
Saturday, presumably as a prelude to the
Arab summit meeting some of them had been
pressing for. The imminence of the UN
General Assembly session, however, may
lead them to adopt the Moroccan suggestion
that the foreign ministers get together in
New York.
The Israelis are having a difficult
time in some of the Arab territories they
are holding. The local people are very
hostile on Jordan's West Bank and sniping
continues in the old city of Jerusalem.
The foreign minister explained that
the King's decision to ask for US evacua-
tion of Wheelus was taken in the convic-
tion that this is an essential step in the
government's effort to restore public or-
der. It is also evident that the insecure
pro-Western regime is anxious to do what
it can to reduce its isolation from the
other Arab states.

3. Soviet Union
Soviet leaders are stretching the
truth when they claim that everything
they did during the first days of the
Middle East war was acceptable to and
done in consultation with Nasir and
other Arab leaders.

Mao and Lin Piao
have in the past downplayed the cost of
the violence, saying that it helps sus- 50X1
tam n the "revolution."

6. South Korea Unrest continues in Seoul.
Op-
position politicians are beginning to
get in on the act, and it appears that
President Pak is in for a more difficult
time than we had originally suggested.
