1. We have received full reports from Security Council to effect
that Committee is to observe cease-fire. This is all that is left
after U.S. clause asking for assessment of responsibility by
Committee and clause requiring withdrawal were defeated.

2. Any hope of getting more effective action from Council now
depends solely on the report submitted by Committee. Council will
not act until your report received.

3. Task of Committee seems hopeless and you should make point of
telling Council so especially the consequences of requiring cease-
fire without Dutch withdrawal. Security Council have to be more
realistic and stop dodging main issues.

4. United States view is that freedom of movement for Committee
and military observers is essential for reporting on events and
that most effective course is for Committee itself to press their
requirements on Dutch in strongest terms as was done for return of
party from Kaliurang. We are inclined to agree.
