a. The Indians will have to
act quickly if they are to recoup
losses sustained over the weekend
before. winter stops all action~
b.. We are sure they will make
the try, even though the logistic
problem is a formidable one in both
sectors.
c.. Neither side has wished to·
complicate the situation by introducing tactical aircraft; they
would probably not be much use in
such an area anyway. But both are
moving some into position, just in
case.

 NOTES

Austria-USSR
After earlier giving the Austrians the
impression that some sort of association with the
Common Market might be acceptable, the Soviets now
have bludgeoned them with a "stern warning" on the
matter. This new pressure iS probably to encourage
. the government which will be elected next month to
reconsider.
B.

Yemen
There has been no important change in the
military situation; both sides are still building
~r a showdown in ·the north. ~I--~--------------~
L___jtne public commitment of Jordan's King Hussein
in support of the Yemeni royalists is having a
depressing effect on_his prestige and popularity.

SPECIAL WATCH REPORT
. of the
UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE BOARD
The Watch Committee met on 21 October to review the
Soviet Bloc military situation in the light of develoPments
in Cuba.
1.
We conclude that although Soviet plans with respect to
Cuba, and possibly Berlin, may have been timed to coincide
with the normal annual training cycle which brings,Soviet
Bloc forces to the highest state of training in the year,
there is no evidence of exceptional measures to increase
general operational readiness.

 ·number of advanced-model supersonic aircraft, has been
accompanied by improvements in the operational proficiency of air crews. While w~ have noted no significant
ground force reinforcement of the East European forward
area, such deployments could be concealed under the guise
of anticipated further "exercises."
5.
We note· that the annual training cycle of the Soviet
Bloc armed forces reaches its climax late in the fall and
it appears that this will be the case this year. Exercises, as are customary, have been conducted by all major
commands and components including the Soviet Long Range
Air and naval forces. We have noted a gradual but steady
trend since January toward improvement of Bloc military
capabilities generally and those in the East European forward area particularly. ~ere' has been a marked attempt
in the forward area to develop the national components of
the Warsaw Pact into an integrated force, to improve the
capabilities of the Soviet and GDR forces in East Germany
and to strengthen the Communist security position around
Berlin.
