Singapore premier sees Laos campaign overstate South Vietnam strength
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew told UPI that judging South Vietnam by the Laos push is unfair and that Indochina peace prospects are better now than in 1969. He noted Laos and Cambodia as risk areas, emphasized attrition over decisive battles, and warned the U.S. remains pivotal in Asia while powers like the Soviet Union and China maneuver for influence.

SST supporters push campaign for last ditch funding
Washington lobbying by government, industry and labor groups surged as the Senate Appropriations Committee advanced a bill to provide 614 million to continue SST prototype development in the final quarter of the fiscal year. The House had rejected the SST by 216 to 204, while an informal Senate poll indicated growing opposition to the supersonic program and its environmental concerns. If defeated in both chambers, supporters warned the project could end.
