Rogers Sees Sharp Infiltration Drop In Vietnam
Secretary Rogers reported a 60 percent drop in Communist infiltration into South Vietnam through December 1, noting a tapering this month. White House officials warned continued tapering could signal North Vietnam’s preference to replace losses and seek Paris peace talks. Defense estimates put infiltrations at 133,500, implying a large year-to-year decrease. Rogers touted Vietnamization as a key Nixon admin achievement and defended U S policy amid Israeli Jordanian talks and Helsinki arms talks progress.
