Reds Have Two Goals In Vietnam Strategy
In early 1968 Vietnam's Communist high command launched a wide offensive with two aims. Undermine rural confidence in Saigon and inflict severe punishment on allied forces to test morale. Local battalions seized towns such as Hau Nghia and Tuy Huoc, raising the red flag and killing district chiefs, while central coast forays and border fighting intensified. Senior U.S. officers noted high enemy activity and mixed losses, with pacification programs faltering in Tuy Phuoc as Viet Cong and North Vietnamese units reemerged after hiding in 1967.

Congressional Members May Receive A Pay Hike
Congress may get automatic pay raises every four years under a congressional pay commission plan. A nine member commission would set salaries and propose increases while lawmakers would not vote on the final amount. The existing $30,000 annual pay would rise unless Congress rejects within 30 days. The plan ties to executive and judiciary pay reforms and faces political opposition in both chambers.
