Approved for Release: 2020/01/23 C00260822 TOP SECRET # CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE BULLETIN 29 August 1958 # DAILY BRIEF ## I. THE COMMUNIST BLOC *Taiwan Strait Situation (as of 0100 EDT, 29 August): Statements that a landing on Chinmen is imminent represent the most explicit threat made thus far by the Chinese Communists in the present crisis. The Nationalists expect that the Matsus may soon come under heavy artillery fire and perhaps be invaded. The buildup of Communist naval units in the Santu Bay area near Matsu is apparently continuing. (Page 1) (Map) USSR-UAR: The Egyptian arms purchasing agent in Moscow was instructed on 27 July to request the USSR to supply TU-16 (BADGER) jet medium bombers in place of the two squadrons (about 30) of IL-28 jet light bombers which had been included in Egypt's earlier order. The USSR has not furnished any TU-16's to any other country. ## II. ASIA-AFRICA Iraq: A Finance Ministry official has stated the new regime is negotiating with Egypt and the Soviet Union for "financial assistance." Iraq may be seeking technicians rather than money. i TOP SECRET Approved for Release: 2020/01/23 C00260822
