Peace prospects in Indochina worsen after Paris cease-fire
A Senate staff report says genuine peace in Indochina remains bleak four months after the Paris cease-fire. It notes U S involvement continues through unusual means, including CIA bonuses to Laotian pilots and salaries for nonexistent Cambodian troops, with Cambodia’s armed forces size described as a mystery. Analysts expect no general Communist offensive soon, but a major attack could come by fall.

Prospects for Peace in Indochina and Regional Forces
The study notes low chances of peace through politics as Hanoi and the Viet Cong seek to overthrow the current South Vietnamese structure while the Saigon regime rejects both Communists and non Communists from meaningful political roles. In Cambodia only about half of 5000 North Vietnamese troops are fighting Lon Nol forces, with 50 000 Khmer Rouge opposition. In Thailand the U S military presence stays at 44 000, and 1972 aid exceeded 60 million due to extra equipment to boost Royal Thai forces.
