EM MOOSE TOOK WRITTEN NOTES ON MY COMMENTS ABOUT VIETNAMESE REFUGEE'S
AND THE INSURGENCY. (I RELIED ON MY MEMORY OF UDORN A-10 OF
APRIL 28 AND UDORN A-6 OS MARCH 5 FOR THESE TOPICS) .
4. MOOSE ASKED WHAT THE THAI HAD DONE TO COUNTER THE INSURGENCY
IN THE NORTHEAST. I CITED THE ESTABLISHMENT OF SECOND ARMY FORW.A D
AT SAKON NAKHON IN 1967 AND ITS INITIAL PSYOPS CAMPAIGN; ACCELERATED
RURAL DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER ROAD-BUILDING PROGRAMS THAT HAVE MADE
SO MANY DISTRICTS ACCESSIBLE BY ALL-WEATHER ROAD; AND THE
DISTRICT OFFICER ACADEMY WHICH HAS GREATLY IMPROVED THE CALIBER
OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEADERSHIP.
:5. MOOSE ALSO EXPRESSED SOME INTEREST IN THE RICE CRISIS, THE
CAMBODIAN GOVERNMENT POSTURE VERSUS THE KHMER ROUGE AND THE NORTH
VIETNAMESE I N NORTHEAST CAMBODIA ALONG THE THAI BORDER, AND SOUTH
LAOS SEPARATISM.
6. MOOSE ASKED SPECIFICALLY ABOUT "ANTI-COMMUNIST" AND "TIGER"
MEDALS AWARDED THE THAI TROOPS WHO HAVE FOUGHT ABROAD. I THINK WE
CONVINCED HIM OF OUR GENUINE IGNORANCE OF THESE WORTHY DECORATIONS.

THE REFTEL SO REQUESTS. VIENTIANE AND PHNOM PENH MAY ALSO BE
INTERESTED. GP-3 BARNES
