They challenged the correctness and objectivity of United States seismic data and insisted that the talks proved the accuracy of the 1958 report on a control system which the Western pow- ers, in the light of new information, feel is no longer adequate. Moscow's first public reporting of the latest A41:,' C underground experiments using conventional high explosives was clearly intended to leave the impression that the United States has re- sumed nuclear testing.

THE COMMUNIST BLOC USSR Moves to Offset Impasse in Geneva Technical Talks Soviet spokesmen at Geneva have moved promptly to play down the importance of the areas of disagreement in the re- port of the technical working group on the underground test detection problem, At the same time, they are seeking to place blame for the impasse on the United States. At the fi- nal session of the political conference before the Christmas recess, Chief Soviet Delegate Tsarapkin stressed that the work of drafting a comprehensive test ban treaty should not be "drowned in the doubts, speculations, and arguments" raised by the experts. He called upon his Western colleagues to put aside "artificial difficulties" and accelerate the work of concluding a treaty? Tsarapkin claimed that a treaty could be signed in two or three days "if those forces in the United States who want a speedy conclusion of a treaty prevail." He charged that agree- ment was blocked by the American experts at Geneva who "al- leged that it is not possible to devise an effective control system" --in contradiction to evidence furnished by, the Soviet experts. The Soviet delegation apparently had hoped that some com- promise formula could be worked out to avoid an impasse at the technical level which might sidetrack Moscow's tactics of clearing the way for focusing the negotiations on the Soviet pro- posal for solving the underground detection problem--an agreed number of annual on-site inspettions. In the final stage of the technical talks, the chief Soviet expert sought to prevent the in- clusion of disagreement in the final report to the political con- ference. He continued to the end his efforts to refute Amer- ican seismic data and to contend that the talks had proved the complete accuracy of the report on a control system by the 1958 experts conference. In a bitter tirade at the 18 Decem- ber session, he expressed doubt about the correctness and Approved For Release 2003/01/29 : CIA-RDP79T00975A004800440001-0 22 Dec 59 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN Page 1 25X1 25X1 Approved For Relemiee-2003104129.-GIA-RIDP7-9-T0497-8A994i00440001-0 objectivity of the American data and charged that the "tendentious use of unilaterally acquired materials" was aimed at "undermin- ing confidence in the control system." Moscow appears concerned that the United States and Britain may use the failure to reach agreement on the most important aspects of the underground test detection problem to renew pres- sure for a limited treaty confined, at least at the outset, to ban- ning atmospheric, high-altitude, and underwater tests. rrsarap- kin has privately indicated that in the event of disagreemenl the technical talks, the USSR might consider a phased treaty, but stressed that the "crux of the matter" must be an obligation to halt all tests at the outset? regardless of the temporary na- ture of a ban on underground tests. 25X1 25X1 Premier Khrushchev may believe the impasse at Geneva calls for a fresh Soviet initiative designed to place the Western powers on the defensive and focus the debate on terms favorable to the USSR. He may take the opportunity of a recess in the talks to address new letters to President Eisenhower and Prime Min- ister Macmillan appealing for a compromise settlement based on the concept of an annual quota of on-site inspections.

THE WEST 25X1 Brazil Suggests Meeting of American Presidents in Mill 1960 girazil has requested Argentina's support for a meeting of Latin American chiefs of state in Brasilia to mark the city's dedication on 21 April as Brazil's new capital and to issue an "important declaration" on "Operation Pan America" (OPA). President Kubitschek first proposed OPA in a letter to Presi- dent Eisenhower in May 1958, calling for a reappraisal of hemisphere relations and a joint attack on underdevelopment. Possibly in order to promote interest in such a meeting, the Brazilians are claiming that President Eisenhower will attend. Furthermore, Brazil is backing Ecuador's suggestion that the 11th Inter-American Conference scheduled for Feb- ruary 1960 at Quito be postponed, perhaps to improve chances for a meeting at Brasilia. A high Argentine Foreign Ministry official has said Ar- gentina is reluctant to join in any Brazilian gambit to put the United States "on the spot." He pointed out that when the Brazilian foreign minister visited Buenos Aires in November as part of Brazil's intensifying diplomatic campaign for OPA, President Frondizi had qualified his endorsement by em- phasizing self -help. Kubitschek stated on 16 December that OPA provided the opportunity of overcoming what he called US indifference toward Latin America. Although he emphasized that OPA was not intended as an effort to form a Latin American bloc hostile to the US, Kubitschek apparently hopes to enhance Brazil's leadership in the hemisphere and its importance in world affairs. At the same time, he probably wants to use OPA and a meeting at Brasilia to help his party's chances in the October presidential elections3 Approved For Release 2003/01/29 : CIA-RDP79T00975A004800440001-0 22 Dec 59 CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN Page 4 25X1 25X1 25X1 25X1 ease 2003/01/29 : CIA-RDP79T00975A004800440 Approved For Reda lase 2003/01/29 : CIA-RDP79T00975A00480 0440001-0 THE PRESIDENT The Vice President Executive Offices of the White House Special Assistant for National Security Affairs Scientific Adviser to the President Director of the Budget Director, Office of Defense and Civilian Mobilization Director, National Aeronautics and Space Administration Special Assistant for Security Operations Coordination Chairman, Board of Consultants on Foreign Intelligence Activities Special Acsistant for Foreign Economic Policy Executive Secretary, National Security Council The Treasury Department The Secretary of the Treasury The Department of State The Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State The Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs The Deputy Under Secretary for Political Affairs The Deputy Under Secreft_ry for Administration The Counselor Director, International Cooperation Administration The Director of Intelligence and Research The Department of Defense The Secretary of Defense The Deputy Secretary of Defense Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs The Secretary of the Army The Secretary of the Navy The Secretary of the Air Force The Chairman, The Joint Chiefs of Staff Commandant, United States Marine Corps The Director, The Joint Staff Chief of Staff, United States Army Chief of Naval Operations, United States Navy Chief of Staff, United States Air Force Assistant to Secretary of Defense for Special Operations Director for Intelligence, The Joint Staff Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Department of Army Director of Naval Intelligence, Department of Navy Assistant Chief of Staff, Intelligence, Department of the Air Force Supreme Allied Commander, Europe Commander in Chief, Pacific The Department of Commerce The Secretary of Commerce Federal Bureau of Investigation The Director Atomic Energy Commission The Chairman National Security Agency The Director National Indications Center The Director Approved For Re 001-0 25X1 25X1 VZ/Z/Z Z/ZIZZ Approved For Relegee 200TOP C5-ECRET75A044800440001-0 Approved For Release 'TOP: (SECRET75AO04800440001-0
