U S Helps Rebuild Viet Nam While Fighting Continues
President Johnson emphasizes nonmilitary aid in South Viet Nam through the Civic Action Program led by Bob Komer. The effort, modeled on Malaysian development, aims to raise farmers' incomes, improve irrigation, build schools, and reduce Communist influence by offering a better life. The program faces Viet Cong resistance and Pentagon red tape, yet shows progress with increased rice production, expanded irrigation, fishing support, and schooling, despite civilian casualties and desertions.
