Finance Minister Sapir and Defense Minister Dayan--potential successors to the premier- ship--have serious policy differences which they are unlikely to resolve in the near future. Mrs. Meir's probable decision to stay would run counter to her personal preference to retire. ,2 Venezuela-Cuba-OAS: Venezuela has dropped its request for a special OAS Council meeting to vote on a resolution that would allow member nations to apply existing OAS sanctions against Cuba as they see fit. Caracas will probably bring the resolution up again when it believes there are 12 votes--a simple majority--for it. 5 FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/07/19: CIA-RDP79T00936A011600010063-9 25X1 25X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/07/19 : CIA-RDP79T00936A011600010063-9 - Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/07/19 : CIA-RDP79T00936A011600010063-9
