DAILY BRIEF
I MARCH 19-65
1. Vietnam
2. VAR
Ambassador Taylor comments regard-
ing a 26 February meeting between US
mission chiefs and the Vietnamese In-
ternal Security Council that "for the
first time there appeared to be some-
thing approaching a single team on the
other side of the table."
Premier Quat today issued a strong
policy statement rejecting :a negotiated
settlement under present conditions.
In his accompanying oral remarks he
spoke conciliatingly of the Buddhist
position on peace as being quite sepa-
rate from those who seek a negotiated
settlement. He presumably did this be-
cause he is not sure of Buddhist support
on this issue.
There have been no changes in the
indicated attitudes of the principal
Communist capitals on the subject of a
negotiated settlement. The Chinese Com-
munists today broadcast another blast--
in English--calling on the US to with-
draw its forces from South Vietnam.
Once this is done, the statement addcd,
"the South Vietnamese people will be
able to settle their own problems."
There is still no firm information
on the call up of Egyptian reservists
which has been reported in the press
during the past day or so. This could
be only a rumor.

3. Congo
4, Laos
It now appears that the air attack
on a school in Ugandan territory,which
was reported in the Daily Brief of 24
February, was almost certainly not the
work of a Congolese aircraft.
The whole episode remains murky,
but there is some evidence suggesting
the attack was a staged provocation.
In Nairobi, the OAU talks continue
in camera. Tshombe is still studiedly
unconcerned, and the chances that he
will eventually attend the Nairobi meet-
ing are rated only as a little better
than even.
Prime Minister Souvanna has again
proposed talks in Vientiane about a cease-
fire between the rightist, neutralist,
and Communist factions. Souvanna says
his motive is simply to recapture' the
initiative in the diplomatic sphere and
kill off the Pathet Lao's standing pro-
posal for meetings in Paris.
