U S and South Vietnamese Move Toward Laos Border
Sen. Aiken cites State Department briefings on a buildup of American and South Vietnamese forces near Laos for an allied operation to cut North Vietnamese supply routes. Kyodo News reports 4,000–5,000 South Vietnamese paratroopers with U S planes entered Laos, while 7,000–20,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong have infiltrated southern Laos. The operation reportedly excludes U S ground troops, with final decision by President Nixon and ongoing censorship.
