Nixon's line on infiltration to be tested
President Nixon could order actions short of renewed bombing of North Vietnam to deter Communist infiltration of South Vietnam. Options include striking the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos and the Laotian end of trail passes, targeting South Vietnamese regions near the DMZ, or suspending troop withdrawals and Haiphong mine-clearing. Diplomatic leverage could include delaying reconstruction aid and signaling to the Soviet Union and China.
