Tet Strength Distortions Denied In Bloody Attack
CIA Director William Colby and Defense Intelligence Agency head Lt Gen Daniel Graham told the House committee there was no conspiracy to overstate Communist strength before the 1968 Tet offensive. Colby cited a 1967 CIA assessment placing Communist forces at about 500000 versus a 292000 military estimate, while Adams claimed a 600000 figure. Both denied falsifying figures and noted differences stemmed from assessing threat scope.
