MOST PARTICULARLY MAJOR FAROOK RAHMAN AND KHANDAKAR ABDUR





RASHID. WE UNDERSTAND THAT MOSHTAQUE MAY BE PERMITTED

TO RETAIN OFFICE, BUT IF THIS IS TRUE, WE SUSPECT THAT HIS

EFFECTIVE POWERS WILL BE DRAMATICALLY REDUCED. HOWEVER,

IF ALL GOES AS PRESENT INDICATIONS SUGGEST, A RELATIVELY

EARLY RETURN TO MORE NORMAL CONDITIONS MAY BE POSSIBLE.

2. WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY INCIDENTS AFFECTING AMERICAN

CITIZENS IN DACCA TODAY.

3. THERE ARE MANY QUESTIONS RAISED BY TODAY'S CRISIS--

THE MOTIVES BEHIND MOSHARRAF'S ACTION, FOR EXAMPLE--WHICH

WE HOPE WE CAN SHED MORE LIGHT ON IN NEXT DAY OR SO.
