The following reuresents a summary for your information
of URPIC reporting to date on Indonesia. The four reports
received thus far, altnougn essentially negative, are use-
ful for establishing bases of comparisons as well as helping
assess current military deveiopments in Indonesia.

2. A aerial survey of the Sumatran 50X1
area disclosed no unusual activity, either on air-
fields or in harbors. The airfield at Medan had
one C-47 aircraft, while Pakanbaru had none. The
Tandjunqpinang airfield had two transports, possi-

fined to tankers and miscellaneous cargo and coastal
vessels. There was a probable gunboat off Padang.

there 'as no i!aminent threat of an amphib- 50X1
ious assault there.
A survey of Borneo on re-
vealed little air activity. Most of the air-
fields had no aircraft. The field at Balikpapan
had two aircraft, one fighter type and one r-25
type; these were probably stationed there in
support of government ground activity in the
Donggala area or north-central Celebes. shipping
activity in Borneo ports appeared normal.
