Opening of Council meeting today [1] Jessup made very satisfactory
statement which was apparently partly result of his discussions
with Cochran. He made clear condemnation of Dutch non-compliance
with December Resolutions [2] and stated that only possible course
for Council now was to stipulate dates for elections for
Constituent Assembly and for assumption of sovereignty by U.N.I.

These should be 'Matter of months'.

Progressive withdrawal of Dutch Forces should, meanwhile, be
effected to be complete from whole of Indonesia by final date.

Whole process to be under United Nations supervision.

2. China and Norway spoke on same lines.

3. Full report follows.

4. From private discussions there seems good prospect for
Resolution including above main points. Cuba is favourably
inclined. United Kingdom informed us their latest instructions
were moving also in this direction.

5. We expect to confer with India and United States tomorrow with
view to formulation of preliminary draft and will keep you
informed. Council meets again Friday.
