U S intelligence says the delay in signing the Vietnam ceasefire led North Vietnamese field commanders to alter short term plans. They expected a major thrust to gain territory before the ceasefire, and now avoid large scale contact to conserve ammo. Reports show morale issues and supply shortages among enemy troops, while South Vietnamese commanders claim victories near Saigon.
