WHAT WE HEAR IN PARIS. AS WE REPORTED IN REF (B), "THE
FRENCH HAVE NOT MADE ANY FINAL DECISIONS ON THE
WITHDRAWAL OF THEIR FORCES BUT EXPECT/EXPECT TO BEGIN
DRAWING DOWN IN THE NEXT 48 HOURS SUBJECT TO THE
SITUATION ON THE GROUND." WITH THE SITUATION IN FORMER
YUGOSLAVIA TENSE, OUR CONTACTS BELIEVE THE GOF IS NOT
EAGER FOR NEW FOREIGN MILITARY COMMITMENTS.
3. ACCORDING TO OUR INFORMATION, THE FRENCH WITHDRAWAL
HAS IN FACT BEGUN. WE CHECKED ON THE MORNING OF APRIL
13 AND LEARNED THAT ONE COMPANY DEPARTED FOR BANGUI ON
APRIL 12, TWO OTHER COMPANIES ABE IN THE MIDST OF
DEPARTURE AND THE FOURTH WILL LEAVE AFTER HANDING OVER
FRENCH POSITIONS TO THE BELGIAN CONTINGENT ACCORDING TO
A TIMETABLE YET TO BE DECIDED.
