TOP SECRET
DECLASSIFIED
E.O. 11652, Sec. 3(E) and 5(D) or (E)
-4-
Dept. of State letter, Aug. 10, 1972
Date 6.26.75
Anstria. On May 19 Tito replied to our note on
Austria by stating that his troops north of the Austrian
frontier of 1937 in the area west of Dravograd will with-
draw to the pre-war boundary "to comply to the utmost
with the wishes of Yugoslavia's Allies, the United States
end Great Britain without prejudicing the final settle-
ment of frontiers with Austria".
It is obvious that Tito specified the withdrawal of
his troops from Austria "west of Dravograd* with e. pur-
pose. That is to enable him to occupy parts of Austria
overrun by the Russians. The Soviet liaison officer with
the Eighth Army has stated that Marshel Tolbukhin hns told
Tito's forces to enter that part of Austria "now occupied
by Bulgarisn troops", which in effect is that part of
southern Austria enst of Dravograd.
Beceuse the British Fifth Corps has widesprend com-
mitments in Austrie and its long line of communications
via Tarvisio and Villach are open "to attack by raiding
forces", SAC has esked Eisenhower to take over the northern
section of the Fifth Corps front facing the Russiana by
extending SHAKF's operational boundary in Austria to a line
woll south of the original division.
