Forces To Keep Raids Below 19th Parallel
North Vietnam air raids are restricted to below the 19th Parallel, despite earlier aims to reach deeper. U.S. sources say the President’s order from March 31 remains official, while air sorties at about 160 miles north of the DMZ have continued. Ground actions near Khe Sanh report 118 North Vietnamese killed and 198 bodies found, as Marines prepare to move out after the siege.
