INTELLIGENCE MEMORANDUM 
SUBJECT: Rumors of Soviet Military Pressures on Rumania 
1. A rash of reports 2nd rumors have appeared suggesting that the Soviet Union is about to apply military pressures to Rumania. These reports are sununarized w.ith comments at annex. Some of the reports allege that Warsaw Pact forces are about to enter Rumania in con­siderable numbers. Others report signs that a Warsaw Pact exercise is to take place on Rumanian soil this month. Some report that the Soviets and Rumanians have been negotiating over Soviet demands that Soviet troops be stationed in 
· Rumania 	and that Wa1:saw Pact exercises be held there soon. 
2. General evaluation: There has been no sign of a recent hardening of the Soviet attitude toward Rumania •. Both Mazurov, the deputy premier who gave the November anniversary speech, and Brezhnev, in his address to the Polish party congress, held to the hard post­August line on the obligations of Warsaw Pact membe~s and the limitations on the sovereignty of individual members. Brezhnev also alluded to projected measures designed to strengthen the structure of the Warsaw Pact. These strictures were clearly angled toward the Rumanians as much as anyone else. Nevertheless, Rumania has not come in for special or concerted propaganda attack.
