Abstract:
Premier Ky, before departing on a brief official visit to Malaysia this week, turned his attention toward generating a sense of progress and momentum in the government's military and rural construction efforts. In addition to a major press conference in which Ky announced new military and cabinet appointments, reviewed his accomplishments to date and outlined future planning, Ky and other government officials presented US officials their proposals for a revitalized pacification program. The pace of the war continued at a relatively intense level over the past week in terms of the number and intensity of Viet Cong-initiated actions. The number of Viet Cong casualties reached a record level, primarily from two major engagements, in the central coastal area and in the Mekong delta, in which South Vietnamese troops performed ably. US forces participated in no large actions, but continued their patrolling and clearing operations.
