2 . Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001900760001-8 Inside the large, ornate structure described in previous session it is warm, still, with a lazy, summer afternoon feel and a buzzy sound, "like" a fly moving around the ground floor. Voices are perceived on an upper floor. Voices are not English, and at least one voice sounds argumentative and strident. A short, thin, pinch-faced person is speaking vehemently, arguing, and persuading. It's "like" he's trying to convince someone to do or see things his way. , He has power over his own particular / responsibilities, but can mainly only influence, not command, V those among whom he is now. This person is a bit of a zealot, yand is promoting some course of action that others see as rash or ¿ perilous or ill-advised. He's a good salesman, though, and some fear he may persuade undecided one to give his plans majority support. There is one overall key figure who carries most weight but whom those present regard as somewhat "out of it" or arbitrary, who might be inclined to make controversial decisions because of a whim, but which would bind the others for support of it. The zealous person is bemusedly accepted by this key figure because the zealous person is a "gung-ho" "hard-charger," whose goals and Weltanschauung are quite similar to the key figure's, though the latter is marginally aware that the zealous person can get carried away and be preposterous in his demands. Still, the . key figure is likely to listen to him because he likes what he ¿ says, often agrees in principle, and regards the others present as worry-wart wafflers. - L. The currently perceived debate is about a course of action involving violence, Clow-scale military involvement -- both directed against external target/targets of apparent national size. The plan has a potential for physical and diplomatic harm to their own interests, and therefore the cooler heads present consider that, though there is an acknowledged chance for success, the potential damage might outweigh any good that might come of it. Still, they're intrigued, if cautious. on a continuum, they're a little right of center, the zealot way towards the left end. (He senses the need to be extreme to balance out the others) There is somewhat an overall sense of paranoia. Internal structure and loyalty base are stable, but leaders have a feeling that everyone external is out to get them. Friends are made conditionally, always with the suspicion that they'll turn on them when interests dictate. Nations they trust most don't share contiguous borders. Except in rare cases, alliances are opportunistic and not expected to last ( "Like" Nazi Germany and Stalinist USSR) . An offensive, semi-covert, paramilitary operation is being proposed. (Not a large-scale maneuver-type operation, but a broad-scoped small scale harassment sort of operation. More to make trouble and keep things stirred up than to reach a well- defined objective -- "Burr-Under-the-Saddle" sort of a concept. Attention seems to be directed north and west. | US seems to be viewed as an antagonist. Y 1 Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R001900760001-8
