DAILY BRIEF
East - West Germany: Recent signs of some West
German interest in more flexible policies toward the
bloc are attracting the attention of the Ulbricht regime.
In a speech at Tutzing on 15 July, Berlin Mayor
Willy Brandt called for a foreign policy of flexibility
and initiative which concerned itself with German in-
terests in the East. He claimed that reunification
against the will of the USSR was manifestly impossible
and that a new relationship between East and West was
necessary.
Earlier, Brandt's long-time confidant, West Ber-
lin Senat Director Egon Bahr, had said in a public
speech that German reunification could not be brought
about by economic pressures. He called for Bonn's
abandonment of the Hallstein doctrine, better relations
with Moscow, and, implicitly, more contacts with the
Ulbricht regime. Bahr argued that reunification was
realizable as a process with many "steps and directions."
The East German press has qualified its standard
criticism of Brandt with something of a wait-and-see
attitude and a challenge for him to match his words
with deeds. The press has avoided direct comment
on Bahr's speech, but has included extensive quotations--
particularly from those passages dealing with the need
to abandon an "all or nothing" approach to reunification,
the definition of reunification as a process having many
stages, and the need for increased East - West German
contacts,

Congo: Most US and UN officials in the Congo
believe with rawal of all UN troops after December
as planned by UN Secretary General Thant could lead
to seriou disorders and further departures of foreign
E
nationals)
M
The director of UN civil operations privately
state on 20 July that he feared the UN civilian tech-
nical assistance program would collapse if the troops
25X1
were removed. He thought most of the 1,100 foreign
nationals employed by the UN would not stay and find-
ing replacements would be extremely difficult)
CCongo Army (ANC) chief General Mobutu continues
to voice optimism on the ability of the ANC to maintain
order and sees no need for UN troops after December
1963. Local American observers see some recent
improvements in ANC discipline and capabilities.
They believe, nevertheless, that a minimum of two
highly mobile UN battalions should be kept in the Congo
until mid-1964. The multinational retraining program
of the ANC is just getting under way, and the full im-
pact of this is not expected to be felt by the end of the
yeah)
CUN troop strength in the Congo has dropped from
a peak of 19,000 to the present 5,500 combat troops,
almost all in Katanga. Despite the sharp reduction,
the mere presence of UN troops has contained the en-
demic tribal antagonisms and ANC rampages. The
local European population has also been reassured by
a UN presence. Added tensions and disorders are
likely to arise out of the political struggles in the new
parliamentary elections planned for early 1964,) I

Venezuela: The ministers of Interior, Develop-
ment, Agriculture, and Justice are preparing to re-
sign before 3 August in order to become candidates
in the national elections due in November.
Three of the ministers are members of the Social
Christian Party, and one is a member of President
Betancourt's Democratic Action. Party, Article 140
of the Venezuelan constitution, prohibits election to
the legislature of anyone who has held executive office
within three months before an election.
Betancourt is not expected to have any great dif -
ficulty in finding replacements, except perhaps for
the Interior Ministry. No appointments have been an-
nounced as yet, but several prominent members of
Betancourt's staff have been suggested as possible
appointees.

Brazil-Cuba: Brazil apparently has granted land-
ing privileges to Cuban aircraft being sent to transport
Latin American delegates to the 26th of July celebra-
tions in Havana.
several Cuban airplanes were to be sent to Rio de Ja-
neiro to meet delegates from Chile9 Argentina, Uruguay,
Brazil, and Peru. The southbound Cuban flights may
carry Brazilians and other Latin American nationals
who have received subversive training in Cuba. This
has been done on previous occasions, as in early June
when the aircraft carrying the new Cuban ambassador
to Brazil also carried 26 non-Cubans returning to sev-
Pral Latin American
ana a - Communist China: responsible Canadian
official is fairly hopeful that Canada will be able to con-
clude a new grain deal with Communist China at least
as large as the 1961 agreement, which called for the
sale of up to five million tons of wheat and one million
tons of barley over a two-and-a-half-year period. The
main difficulties center around the price the Chinese
want to pay, and the Canadians' desire for a five-year
contract. The Chinese insist that Canada import more
Chinese textiles, a demand on which Ottawa is willing
to make onl minor concessions.
