Laos report details claims that U S covert actions in Laos are being kept secret to avoid public scrutiny. Officials say Americans misread broadcasts while admitting air sorties and combat support missions occur under Geneva Accord limits with limited detail provided.
The piece questions U S transparency on Laos operations, noting large daily air strikes and CIA involvement in Lao guerrilla support. It cites restricted reporting, denied access for correspondents, and estimates of U S casualties and spending, arguing for fuller disclosure.
Senate members charged the Nixon administration backs a 4800-strong Thai mercenary force in Laos to shield the Southeast Asian kingdom from communists, costing about 250 million dollars annually. A secret session heard CIA support details and calls for a 200 million dollar spending ceiling, with figures contested and classified by officials.
