US sources report a captured Vietcong document stating the Communists abandoned plans for a decisive summer victory in Vietnam. It says the current offensive is meant to be limited and that failure in 1968 was due to troop engagement limits. Prisoners from the Vietcong division in Tay Ninh city described orders to hold the town briefly.
