NORTH VIETNAM
Hanoi is infiltrating an unusually large number
of high-ranking personnel into South Vietnam and
southern Laos. Intercepted communications indicate
that about 400 high-level individuals, some military
and some civilian, have passed through the system
since June 1 in 22 infiltration groups. Approximately
two thirds of these people are heading for South Viet-
nam's central coast and the areas around Saigon; the
rest are bound for other parts of South Vietnam and
southern Laos.
Prior to the cease-fire, not more than one
or two such groups were observed in any
single month. The North Vietnamese have
been expanding their administrative appa-
ratus in the South, and the new personnel
probably will move into relatively impor-
tant jobs.

UN - MIDDLE EAST
Chances are slim for avoiding an outcome
unfavorable to the US in the Security Coun-
cil vote on the Middle East scheduled for
today. The week-long consultations have
only highlighted Arab-Israeli differences.
A nonaligned draft resolution is expected to
receive at least 12 votes, with the US standing alone
in opposition. The resolution would "deplore" Is-
rael's occupation of Arab lands and failure to coop-
erate with UN mediation efforts. US proposals to
modify the draft have failed to draw support.
Israel objects not only to the nonaligned draft
but also to US proposals referring to the "interests
of the Palestinians," which would, Tel Aviv argues,
recognize another party to peace negotiations. Is-
raeli representatives are urging the US to drop com-
promise efforts and veto the nonaligned resolution.
Secretary General Waldheim has said that
his planned trip to the Middle East is not
tied to the outcome of the debate. How-
ever, Tel Aviv--which had supported the
trip primarily with the hope it would
sidetrack the council debate--is now
threatening to bar the visit if the non-
aligned resolution is approved.
