CURRENT INTELLIGENCE WEEKLY SUMMARY
28 September 1961
THE WEEK /N BRIEF
EAST-WES LATIONS Page 1
The Soviet Union's line on Germany and the Berlin
problem continues to combine an attitude of reasonable-
ness on details and procedures with an unyieldtng stand
on certain basic issues. Khrushchev, in his talk with
Belgian Foreign Minister Speak on 19 September, appeared
more conciliatory and flexible than at any time since the
Vienna meeting with President Kennedy. Gromyko has not
yet reflected this line in his talks with Secretary Rusk
or with Lord Home, and MOSCOW has made further moves in
the military sphere to impress the West with bloc mili-
tary strength and combat readiness. Exercises of the
Warsaw Pact forces have been announced for October and
November. At the UN, the Soviets have continued to ad-
vocate the troika, but there are increasing signs that
the bloc will eventually compromise on an arrangement
for an interim appointment to fill out Hammarskjold's
term, plus appointment of three under s7cretaries to
act as advisers.
