US report warns Saigon on drug trade impact
Washington says South Vietnam is accused of profiting from heroin traffic and US support could drop unless action is taken. Rep. Steele and Rep. Murphy cite a memorandum from Ambassador Bunker to President Thieu, urging a presidential task force to root out financiers and backers behind drug trafficking in Saigon. The report notes heroin from Laos and South Vietnam, with estimates of heroin addiction among US troops in the area ranging up to a quarter.
