1. USSR a. We have as yet no signs
of major changes in policy.
b. Brezhnev used the cere-
monies honoring the Voskhod cosmo-
nauts as a forum for reassuring
the Soviet people of the new re-
gime's dedication to the policy
lines worked out since Stalin's
death.
c. At a later Kremlin recep-
tion, Brezhnev and Kosygin sought
out Ambassador Kohler to express
friendly sentiments.
d. Party meetings to explain
the Kremlin shift are under way in
the provinces and in Soviet mis-
sions abroad, and we may soon hear
more of the approach taken for this
inner group

f. At the Kremlin reception,
Kohler, who has heard rumors that
Defense Minister Malinovsky would
be among the next to go, noted that
Malinovsky seemed particularly glum.
g. However, this could be
Malinovsky's reaction to the death
of Deputy Defense Minister Biryuzov
in a plane crash outside Belgrade
yesterday. We think Biryuzov, also
chief of the general staff, proba-
bly was being groomed for eventual
promotion to Minister of Defense.

2. South Vietnam a. The search for a govern-
mental formula continues.
b. Meanwhile, a new montagnard
uprising, the possibility of which
has been worrying Saigon, may have
been forestalled for at least the
time being. Khanh held a session
over the weekend with delegates
from 24 highland tribes, promising
concessions meeting all their major
demands.
c. While pleased with this,
many montagnard leaders say they
will wait and see if the promises
are carried out.
