Abstract:
Political tension subsided, at least temporarily, as a result of the Buddhist hierarchy's declaration of satisfaction with the government's promise of early assembly elections. Although Buddhist elements in I Corps are now responding to monk Tri Quang's appeals for an end to protest activity, the situation there is still explosive, with continuing friction between governmental partisans, on the one hand, and armed Nationalist (VNQDD) Party followers and Catholics, on the other. There are also indications in Saigon of growing opposition to the elections by strongly anti-Buddhist and anti-Communist circles. The over-all level of Viet Cong activity declined last week, but there was some increase in the number and intensity of Communist attacks. South Vietnamese and allied operations during the week generally kept up the pressure on the enemy, but failed to score significant results.
