U S officials weigh steps to bolster aid to Viets
U S officials consider actions to strengthen support for South Vietnam amid a renewed Communist offensive. Estimates warn of a push for a Moscow style coalition in Saigon and a drive to uproot pacification while the Viet Cong seek a rural base and intensified attrition. North Vietnamese divisions rise to at least four new units, with seven strategic reserves in the north. Total Communist forces in South Vietnam exceed 300,000, including 225,000 North Vietnamese and 75,000 Viet Cong, compared with about 220,000 at the 1973 Paris pact. The $700 million 1975 aid bill funds consumables rather than capital equipment, affecting mobility due to ammo and fuel shortages. Cary Grant profile note ends.
