SUBJECT$ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ITEMS
SIRIK MATAK LETTER TO PRESIDENT NIXON: ON AUGUST 27 SIRIK MATAK ,
FORMER CAMBODIAN PRIME MINISTER, SENT PRESIDENT NIXON A PERSONAL
LETTER OF GRADITUDE WHICH AMBASSADOR SWANK AGREED TO TRANSMIT O
THE LETTER EXPRESSED PROFUSE THANKS FOR UNITED STATES ASSISTANCE
TO CAMBODIA AND HOPES FOR THE PRESIDENT'S SUCCESS IN BRINGING
PEACE e MATAK REFERRED OBLIQUELY TO CAMBODIA'S CURRENT DOMESTIC
POLITICAL TROUBLES, NOTING ONLY THAT HE HAD TO LEAVE THE GOVERN-
MENT LAST MARCH BECAUSE OF CERTAIN INTERNAL PROBLEMS" (E.G.,
DISAGREEMENT WITH PRESIDENT LON NOL) . HOWEVER Iv HE POINTEDLY
RECALLED HIS VISIT TO THE WHITE HOUSE LAST YEAR AND PRESIDENT
NIXON'S FRIENDSHIP FOR HIM.
SIRIK MATAK PRESENTLY HAS NO OFFICIAL POSITION IN THE CAMBODIAN
GOVERNMENT AND IS A PRINCIPAL CRITIC OF PRESIDENT LON NOL . THE
LETTER PRRGABLY REPRESENTS AN INDIRECT PROBING FOR AMERICAN
SUPPORT IN HIS IMPASSE WITH LON NOL OVER POSSIBLE PARTICIPATION
IN THE GOVERNMENT AND CANCELLATION OF THE NEW UNCONTESTED LEGIS-
LATIVE ELECTIONS STILL SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 3. (ADAMS)
AMBASSADOR RABIN ON EGYPTIAN STRATEGY: IN A SHORT CHAT WITH JOE
SISCO OVER THE WEEKEND p AMBASSADOR RABIN ASSESSED EGYPTIAN
DIPLOMATIC STRATEGY AS LEANING IN THE DIRECTION OF A MID EAST
PEACE CONFERENCE IDEA THAT WALDHEIM AND THE FRENCH AS WELL
HAVE EXPRESSED INTEREST IN* CONCURRENTLY, RABIN FELT, THE
EGYPTIANS ARE WEIGHING THEIR FALL UN TACTICS WHERE THEY MIGHT
MOVE DIPLOMATICALLY TO RAISE THE MID EAST ISSUE PER SE OR INTRO-
DUCE THE MID EAST ISSUE IN THE CONTEXT OF A PEACE CONFERENCE
AND SECURE A GENERAL ASSEMBLY RESOLUTION IN THIS REGARD TO
SUPPLEMENT RESOLUTION 242 AS THE BASIS FOR SUCH A CONFERENCE.
RABIN DIDN'T FEEL THE SOVIETS WERE ENTHUSIASTICALLY BACKING
SUCH THINKING ABOUT A CONFERENCE, BUT BELIEVED THEY WOULD
ULTIMATELY BE OBLIGED TO LEND SUPPORT.
THE ISRAELIS, OF COURSE, ARE STRONGLY OPPOSED TO ANY ACTION AT
THE UN o (NEAHER /SAUNDERS)

UK WANTS U.S. HELP WITH UGANDA ASIANS: GENERAL IDI AMIN'S
AUGUST 9 UNALTERABLE DECISION TO EXPEL ALL ASIANS WHO HOLD
FOREIGN PASSPORTS WITHIN 90 DAYS SEEMS TO BE POSING MAJOR
PROBLEMS FOR THE UK, WHICH WILL HAVE TO RECEIVE 50 TO 60,000.
BRITISH PASSPORT HOLDERS o UK APPEALS FOR HELP TO NATIONS SUCH
AS OURSELVES ORSKANADA HAVE SO FAR NETTED MINIMAL RESULTS
GIVEN STRICT IMMIGRATION LAWS. INDIA IS APPARENTLY NOT PRE-
PARED TO ADMIT RESPONSIBILITY FOR BRITISH ASIANS. AS A RESULT,
THE UK IS URGENTLY APPEALING FOR HELP FROM SECRETARY GENERAL
WALDHEIM (WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE UN CAN DO) AND IT IS LIKELY
THAT AN APPEAL WILL BE MADE TO THE PRESIDENT o THE UK WOULD
PROBABLY LIKE TO SEE US ADMIT AS MANY ASIANS AS POSSIBLE UNDER
PAROLE, A PROCEDURE WHICH WAIVES THE NEED FOR AN IMMIGRANT
VISA. A FULL MEMORANDUM FROM STATE ON THIS SUBJECT SHOULD BE
COMING SOON TO US O
IN UGANDA, THE SITUATION BECOMES WORSE DAILY. THE ASIAN EXODUS
WILL FURTHER DISRUPT UGANDA'S ALMOST BANKRUPT ECONOMY. THE UK
HAS ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL SUSPEND ITS AID AND NO OTHER WESTERN
NATIONS SEEM LIKELY TO BAIL OUT AMIN. OUTSIDE THE CAPITAL p
AN UNDISCIPLINED ARMY HAS MADE TOURISM A HAZARDOUS ADVENTURE
FOR THE MANY THOUSANDS -- INCLUDING 12,000 AMERICANS --? WHO
ANNUALLY VISIT THE GAME PARKS. SOME OF OUR CITIZENS HAVE, IN
FACT, BEEN SLAPPED AROUND AT BORDER POSTS LEADING US TO INFOR-
MALLY ADVISE TOURISTS TO STAY AWAY FROM UGANDA. IN ANOTHER ACTION p
THE PARANOIAC AMIN HAS THREATENED TO BOMB NEIGHBORING (AND
HELPLESS) RWANDA BECAUSE OF IMAGINED ISRAELI SCHEMES AGAINST
HIM. BEFORE THIS IS ALL OVER, UGANDA'S IRRATIONAL LEADER WILL
PROBABLY HAVE WORSE THINGS IN SIGHT FOR THE U.S., (YOU'LL RECALL
THAT OUR, TOURISTS AND PEACE CORPS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ACCUSED OF
ESPIONAGE) AND THE UK. ALTHOUGH OUR INTERESTS THERE ARE MINIMAL*
WE HAVE 1,200 CITIZENS; THE UK HAS 7,000 CITIZENS TO WORRY ABOUT .

ARGENTINE DISPLEASURE WITH CHILE: THE ARGENTINE GOVERNMENT HAS
EXPRESSED "DEEP DISPLEASURE" WITH THE CHILEAN DECISION TO SEND
TO CUBA THE ARGENTINE TERRORISTS WHO HIJACKED AN AIRLINER TO
CHILE TWO WEEKS AGO RATHER THAN EXTRADITING THEM. THE ARGENTINE
GOVERNMENT HAS RECALLED ITS AMBASSADOR TO CHILE. ACCORDING TO
A FOREIGN MINISTRY OFFICIAL, THIS MAY BE ONLY THE FIRST RETALIATORY
MEASURE TAKEN BY ARGENTINA, HE SAID ARGENTINA MAY EVEN RESORT
TO ECONOMIC SANCTIONS. WHILE IT SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT ARGENTINA
WILL IN FACT FOREGO IMPORTANT TRADE DEALS OR BILATERAL PROJECTS,
ARGENTINE-CHILEAN RELATIONS HAVE MOVED TO A NEW LOW AND PRESIDENT
LANUSSE'S POLICY OF DROPPING "IDEOLOGICAL BARRIERS" WILL SUFFER
A MAJOR SETBACK. (JORDEN)
CUBAN NAVAL EXERCISES: CUBAN NAVAL FORCES IN THE CIENFUEGOS
AREA CONDUCTED THEIR LARGEST AND MOST SOPHISTICATED ANTI-INVASION
EXERCISE TO DATE ON TUESDAY. THE EXERCISE WAS APPARENTLY TAR-
GETED AGAINST A SIMULATED INVASION OF CUBA WITH U.S. AIR SUPPORT
AND IT DEMONSTRATED A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE CUBAN NAVY'S
CAPABILITY TO CONDUCT COORDINATED OPERATIONS. CUBAN UNITS
INVOLVED INCLUDED SUBCHASERS , TORPEDO BOATS, A TORPEDO RETRIEVER.,
AND A PATROL LAUNCH. (JORDEN)
