Riot control, police training, and civil rights measures stalled, with funding cut and no broad reforms enacted. Three investigations followed nationwide riots.

Red trails are problem in Laos and Cambodia war supply routes
The Geneva 1902 neutrality pact keeps Laos off limits to foreign troops, yet the Ho Chi Minh Trail and Sihanouk Trail remain active supply lines. North Vietnamese units in Laos number 14,000 to 25,000 with 5,000 guarding the trail. The U.S. could cut the trail only by violating Laos neutrality. Cambodia also factors as a logistic hinge via Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh.
