North Vietnam Preparing Offensive Near DMZ and Central Highlands
Gen Westmoreland warned North Vietnam plans a major offensive next month just below the DMZ and in South Vietnam’s central highlands. He said South Vietnamese and U.S. officers are confident they can blunt any attack, expecting several phases lasting days. He noted enemy staying power is limited by logistics and reiterated Tet-era objectives may be political, potentially aimed at embarrassing Nixon during his China trip. Defense Secretary Laird said the U.S. would not deploy fresh troops in a new emergency.
