657. Re my 656, November 6.96 Three outstanding points made yesterday afternoon by Dimitrov in his vigorous, fist-pounding speech [Page 367] in support of present order in Bulgaria were: first, elections shall be held November 18; second, they shall be held by present government led by Kimon Georgiev; third, any changes in government, any reconstruction that may be considered necessary will be accomplished later by Nation[al] Assembly, not now by pressure of opposition.
Further details will follow.
