Documents / FOIA release
The Central Intelligence Agency issued this Top Secret Central Intelligence Bulletin, a daily intelligence brief, on 8 April 1958. It reports that Communist China budgeted $185,000,000 for foreign aid in 1958 and describes reported Indonesian government plans to attack Padang and Bukittinggi in Central Sumatra. It also covers Israeli-UAR tensions over the Lake Hula drainage project and UAR reconnaissance flights, EOKA bombings on Cyprus, French nuclear testing plans and a Peruvian cabinet reshuffle. It contains no UFO material.

Israeli-UAR Border Tensions The Israeli Foreign Ministry has indicated it is relatively well satisfied with a report by the UN truce organization which indicates that Israel's drainage project in the Lake Hula area does fall within the Israeli-Syrian demilitarized zone, as the Syrians contend, but that the project is permissible under the UN team's interpretation of the armistice agreement. The Israelis agreed on 6 April to postpone further digging operations "for a few days" while UN officers seek the UAR's acquiescence in their finding. The Israelis have also agreed to make a small adjustment in the project so that it does not impinge on Arab-owned land. Both the Israeli and UAR forces will almost certainly remain alert for incidents growing out of this particular dispute as well as out of other border friction. The Israelis have charged that new cases of Arab sabotage and infiltration have occurred in the last two days. The UAR Air Force apparently has been flying reconnaissance missions over Israeli territory. An unidentified jet aircraft dropped photo flares over Eilat on the night of 1 April, and the overflight of an aircraft which was fired on by Israeli antiaircraft guns. In addition, elements of an Egyptian fighter squadron being deployed to Syria may have overflown Israel. TOP SECRET
