DAILY BRIEF
18 NOVEMBER 1966
1. South Vietnam
2. Jordan
Ky seems finally to have found
another roosting place for
IV Corps commander, General Quang.
Quang will become Minister
of Planning and Development. This is
a new ministry, created to give Quang
an important enough sounding post to
get him out of IV Corps quietly.
King Husayn has described the
recent Israeli attack as an act of
war--not a retaliatory raid. He
called the diplomatic corps in Amman
together to make this point and to
emphasize that if Israel attacks
again for any reason Jordan will
strike back.
Prime Minister Tell later told
Ambassador Burns that even if the gov-
ernment tried to exercise restraint he
was not certain the Army would. Tell
said the Army would be trigger-happy
for months to come and it was quite
possible for a Jordanian officer to
fabricate an incident that would force
an attack on Israel.
Although Tell is given to over-
statement at times, Burns thinks his
observations should not be treated
lightly in this case.
