Remainder Of New Year Truce Canceled In Vietnam Assault
Viet Cong launched what was described as the biggest assault of the war, striking Da Nang and seven provincial capitals in central and northern South Vietnam. Despite Thieu canceling the truce, U.S. bombing of North Vietnam continued. The attacks damaged jet fighters, cargo planes, and helicopters, with significant losses across airfields and military installations. Diplomatic notes and ongoing operations framed the Tet crisis as a broad, coordinated strike aimed at undermining Saigon's authority.

The program aims to render U.S. ICBMs invulnerable to Soviet attacks by burying missiles in thick underground firing barrels, though exact silo counts remain secret. The initiative appears in the 1988 budget and targets three or more warheads per Minuteman III missile.
