DAILY BRIEF
28 DECEMBER 1964
1. South Vietnam
2. Congo
3. Italy
4. Egypt
The communiqu?ssued todayby
Premier Huong and Chief of State Suu
leaves the door open for reconciliation
with the generals. Huong may now seek
the formation of a new legislative body
that would include some members of the
disbanded High National'Council. Some
quid pro quo,including the release of
political hostages, would probably be
demanded from the military. The Bud-
dhists reiterated their opposition to
Huong over the weekend, but show no
clear signs of an imminent renewal of
agitation.

Press reports of a sizable govern-
ment military victory apparently refer
to an operation yesterday in Ba Xuyen
province. 50X1
Only about half of Premier Moro's
own Christian Democrat Party appears
to have voted for new president Sara-
gat, the Social Democratic leader, with
those who have opposed the center-left
coalition probably abstaining. This
puts the expected severe strain on Moro's
government. The next step will probably
be a Christian Democratic Party confer-
ence, at which the new factional align-
ments will be sorted out.
Nasir has allowed a couple of hints.
in the last few
days that he would like to better rela-
tions with the US. A brief survey of
events leading up to these approaches
is at Annex.

ANNEX
Egyptian-US Relations
Nasir's anti-US trend first became apparent
last summer in wholesale criticism by the Egyptian
propaganda apparatus of US policies throughout the
world, as well as in the Middle East. With regard
to Vietnam, Cairo has taken the line that the US
is interfering there, and that the US alone is guilty
of doing so.
Similar charges have been reiterated for some
time regarding US support of the government of the
Congo. On 1 December the rubber stamp Egyptian As-
sembly passed a resolution denouncing the'"abominable
crime" of the US-Belgian rescue operation at Stan-
leyville. Egyptian air shipments of arms to the
Congolese rebels have been moving steadily into the
Sudan
In addition, the Nasir regime has displayed ani-
mosity toward the US in a variety of other ways.
Recent examples include the burning of the USIS li-
brary in Cairo--which the authorities made no effort
to stop and may have staged--and the government's
irresponsible handling of the recent crash of a US-
owned private plane near Alexandria.
Nasir in recent days has also been at pains to
identify Egyptian interests more closely with the
Soviet Union. The Soviets have publicly recipro-
cated, although it is doubtful that Moscow in re-
ality has recently gained more confidence in Nasir,
or has decided to give him more aid without strings.
