U.S. Commander Vows Defense as Viet Cong May Attack
The enemy may launch a new offensive against Saigon and key cities before the lunar new year on February 17. General Creighton Abrams, commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam, says his troops are prepared and confident they can repel any attack. Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces are estimated at about 25,000 along the Cambodian border and north of Saigon, while allies field roughly 60,000. Despite talk of a new offensive, major ground fighting has been scarce, and some U.S. officers doubt an attack will occur.
