CURRENT INTELLIGENCE WEEKLY SUMMARY
CONGO DEVELOPMENTS ‘
The UN appears to be pre-
paring to use a more forceful
policy to effect Katanga's in-
tegration. In letters to Adoula
and Tshombé on l November, the
UN described the lack of any
substantial progress on the re-
unification plan as a cause for
concern; it emphasized that the
plan had been submitted for "ac-
ceptance pure and simple" and
was not to be an object of ne-
gotiation. In a point-by-point
analysis of the plan's imple-
mentation the UN attributed
more blame to Katanga than to
the central government and
called on Tshombé to accept or
reject the plan.
Although the letters con-
tained no reference to force
nor any threat of sanctions,
U Thant told the Congo Advisory
Committee on 6 November that
if he had not received satis-
factory replies by 15 November
he would consider the plan
"scrapped" and would then adopt
an alternative policy. He would
not elaborate on the alterna-
tives, but in the last commit-
tee meeting on l2 October he
had speculated that the UN
would have to use overt force
or cut off Katanga's revenues
to convince Tshombé that it
meant business. He believed
the more practical solution
would be to cut off the reve-
nues, although this too could
lead to severe fighting.
Indonesia has offered two
C-130 transports--each with a
CflPa¢1tY of 64 paratroops--as

part of its 1,800-man contingent,
and the UN is seeking additional
jet aircraft. The Indian Gov-
ernment has informed the UN that
for the time being it will leave
its troops in the Congo.
Under Secretary General
Bunche believes that a show of
force may enable the UN to
attain its objectives without
a fight. He has indicated that
the UN's next move will consist
of "administrative actions."
The UN has already placed cen-
tral government customs and
immigration officials at Elisa-
bethville airport without evok-
ing a response from Tshombé.
Bunche estimates that the UN
could move into the mining towns
