The Soviets want to use Vientiane as a stopover for onward flights to Hanoi and Phnom Penh. Moscow signed a new civil air agree- ment with Malaysia on 27 November and is currently negotiating landing right privileges with Thailand and Cambodia, ,as reported in The President's Daily, Brief of 29 November. The Laotians appear amenable to the Vien- tiane-Hanoi route but are reluctant to let the Soviets duplicate their profitable air route to Phnom Penh, If Laos concurs, Aero- flot could transport passengers, including Communist officials, between Vientiane and Hanoi, a route now served only by weekly flights of the International Control Com- mission. 3 FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A007800040001-7 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A007800040001-7 FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY BRAZIL Today is the first-month anniversary of the death of dissident Communist leader Carlos Marighella. security officials expect leftist extremists to mark the oc- casion with terrorist actions. Such acts might in- clude the sabotage of vital public services, the as- sassination or kidnaping of important civil or mili- tary officials or their dependents, or the hijacking of another airliner. The followers of Marighella who have warned that his death will be avenged by bloodshed may feel obliged to carry out some opera- tion at this time to demonstrate that his loss has not crippled their operations.
