1. Congo
a. Kasavubu has asked Adoula
to stay
50X1
for the next few days, 50X1
b. A new, transitional govern-
ment will be named after the con-
stitutional referendum ends on 10
July.
c. Kasavubu has not said who
will head the transitional govern-
ment, but support for Tshombe still
seems to be growing.
d. If Tshombe should be picked,
?there will be loud complaints from
some of the other Africans. The
Tunisians, Egyptians, Nigerians,
and Northern Rhodesians have already
shown their disapproval.
e. A "reconciliation" govern-
ment may be in the cards. 2
f. We have no new word on
Gizenga, although Tshombe told the
press on Monday that he had Adoula's
promise to free him.

2. Pakistan
3. Cyprus
a. Grivas has now been given
an office in the presidential
palace, according to the Cypriot
press, but his official position
has still not been announced.
b. Makarios, in an apparent
quandary, went over the job possi-
bilities in an exceptionally frank
discussion with Ambassador Belcher
last Monday. He ticked off the
titles of chief of security, minister
of defense, and "special adviser"
to himself, but said he could not
make up his mind.

c. He said that Grivas was
still firmly anti-Communist, but
would go slowly on solidifying the
rightists because of the "thankful-
ness" the Cypriots now feel toward
the USSR.
d, Makarios claimed he had
gotten over his earlier feeling of
apprehension about the general's
return. ,He impressed Belcher, how-
ever, as being still very much wor-
ried,

NOTES
A. Communist China Preliminary evaluation of
photography from a Chinese Nationalist recon-
naissance flight over south China on 26 June
has revealed no indication of a Chinese Com-
munist military build-up in the area. The
IL-28s observed during a March mission at
Haikou, on Hainan Island, were no longer
present. There also appears to have been a
decrease in jet fighter strength at Suichi
airfield on the mainland north of Hainan.
B. Portugal - Communist China Portuguese rec-
ognition of Communist China appears to be
getting close. A Portuguese Army Ministry
official has told the British he is going to
Peiping in August "in connection with".recog-
nition, which he said was being negotiated
"elsewhere."
C. Italy The center-left parties agree--at
least publicly--that a new center-left coali-
tion under Moro is the only solution to the
present crisis. President Segni, however, may
wait until the Socialists hold their central
committee meeting this weekend before appOint-
ing a premier. If the coalition cannot be
worked out, the US Embassy comments, the next
best bet is a temporary caretaker government.

E. Yemen - Saudi Arabia Faysal has agreed to
the extension of the UN mission in Yemen and,
will
pay Saudi Arabia's share of the cost. This
gives the mission three more months of life,
beginning on 4 July.
F. Communist China - North Vietnam The high-
level Chinese Communist delegation returned
to Peiping from Hanoi on 29 June. The group,
probably headed by a politburo member, had
flown to Hanoi on the 25th, accompanying
North Vietnamese VIP's who had been visiting
Peiping. We assume the discussions covered
the outlook for Southeast Asia.
