Hue Rebuilds After Tet Siege With New U S Aid
Hue ten months after the Tet offensive is reopening to traffic and tourists. The Citadel area remains scarred by mass graves from the battle, while two Viet Cong regiments and South Vietnamese forces defend the city. The relief program funds rebuild homes and public buildings, with 13 000 self defense personnel organized and refugee benefits paid. The city now houses about 157 000 people, up from 130 000, as tourism and a new American cultural center attract visitors.
