The decision affects carpenters and asbestos workers resisting prefabricated components, with critics warning higher costs and slower construction.

Why More Troops Are Needed in Vietnam
Joseph Alsop argues that despite erosion of enemy main forces, Westmoreland needs at least two more U.S. divisions. He cites shrinking enemy battalions, reduced combat effectiveness, and a looming IV corridor threat in I Corps. Additional divisions would bolster pacification, deter a northern invasion, and hasten the end of the costly current phase.
