FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY
IRAN
The government is taking extraordinary precau-
tions against possible terrorist actions during the
two-week-long celebrations commemorating the 2,500th
anniversary of the Persian monarchy beginning on
Monday. The broad publicity to be given to the fes-
tivities provides an opportunity for dissident ele-
ments to advertise their cause by seeking to embar-
rass the government with assassinations or kidnap-
ings. To counter this threat, the government. .-has
put all military, police
on 24-hour alert, posted guards at key installations
throughout the country, and stepped up patrol of the
Iraqi border.area. Suspected troublemakers have al-
ready been arrested.
There have already, been some terrorist
acts, including an unsuccessful attempt
to kidnap Prince Shahram, the Shah's
nephew. Police last week fought a run-
ning gun battle in Tehran with a group
described as Maoist guerrillas. Uniden-
tified groups around the country have
for weeks been defacing statues of the
Shah.
Government security forces appear able-
to prevent large-scale disruptions.. Ter-
rorists are capable of staging some iso-
lated incidents, however.

NOTES
North Vietnam:/
Libya: Premier Qadhafi yesterday publicly ad-
mitted that the reports of his having resigned last
month were true.- The cause, he .said, was the apathy
of the Libyan. people and not quarrels in the Revolu-
tionary Command Council, as was widely reported.
Qadhafi did not say what had induced him to return,
but declared that he would not, stay on the jobj_f
he failed to.get.full cooperation from the people.
Qadhafi obviously, is seeking to. arouse popular sup-
port. for his programs, but his statements also open.
the-door for still-another-retirement.
