India a. All of the IL-28 have been removed from Holguin air- field. Disassembly of those at San Julian continues. 1-?1 50)(1 50X1 we are pret y sure that Cuban pilots were training on IL-28s as late as 50X1 23 November--several days after the USSR had agreed to withdraw these aircraft from Cuba. We do not take this to mean that TL-28s will remain in Cuba. 50X1 For The President Only?Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24: CIA-RDP79T00936A001200190001-3 50X1 1 FR t11'1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2015/07/24 : CIA-RDP79T00936A001200190001-3 r- I- 1 I- 1 3. Congo, a. Adoula survived the censure motion yesterday, as the opposition filed to get the needed two thirds vote (47 votes for Adoula, 50 against). b. His hold on things is shaky, though, and not likely to sustain him long. c. Many deputies who sided with the government did so on the under- standing that a substantial reshuffle of the cabinet will follow. They may not be satisfied with what changes are made, and their continued loyalty is doubtful. d. Many others sided with the government only because they were convinced of the need to avoid the troubles which might follow should the government fall.

Yemen e. Tshombe reacted bitterly to McGhee's letters. He exhibited no give or inclination to move forward, confining himself to intemperate comments about the US, its policy, and its friends. He could not accept "ultimatums", adding that Americans wished to kill Katangans-- "let them, but they would inherit ?a desert." f. Ambassador Gullion seconds the view of Stevenson, Spaak, and others that payments by Union Minibre to Leopoldville will, of itself, do nothing to advance political and military integration. a. Our military attache in Jidda believes a royalist offensive may get under way shortly and that the present period of relative calm is being used to build up substantial stocks in the border ?area. b. Cairo saw the light and accepted (almost verbatim) our suggestions concerning its with- drawal declaration. One can be sure, however, that, when- issued, it will be accompanied by heavy propaganda for home consumption.

Bulgaria New Bulgarian Premier. Zhivkov, in talks with our minister, stressed Bulgaria's desire to improve re- lations with the US. He indicated Bulgaria'sreadluess to settle the problem of claims, which, he said, would be a small price to pay should this help improve eco- nomic and political climate. B. USSR Indications are that another space event will oc- cur shortly, probably another in the recoverable, not manned Cosmos series.
