McNamara predicts heavy communist buildup in South Vietnam
Secretary of Defense McNamara told Congress that North Vietnam is likely to intensify its war effort in the South in the coming months. He cited increased guerrilla activity around Saigon, a doubling of Soviet land based nuclear missiles, and warned the South Vietnamese must hold the line with greater resolve. He noted ally progress has been uneven but said main force units are no match for allied forces. He also pointed to North Vietnam receiving roughly one billion dollars in aid last year and cited new divisions moving southward near the DMZ.
