1. CONTINUING SCAN BY NPIC OF MISSION I 25X1

5 MAY 1966
OF THE SE KONG (RIVER), TO 1527N 10651E (UTM XC985096). THE CON-
STRUCTION CONSISTS OF INTERMITTENT CLEARING OPERATIONS, IN VARIOUS
STAGES OF COMPLETION, WHICH GENERALLY FOLLOW THE ALIGNMENT OF A
PREVIOUSLY EXISTING IMPROVED TRAIL (DESIGNATED AS ROUTE 964):
SOUTHEAST FROM UTM XC945138; TO UTM XC956114; THEN ENE TO UTM
XC963116; AND THEN SOUTHEAST TO UTM XC985096.
2. REF A REPORTED WATER-BORNE INFILTRATION ACTIVITY ON THE SE
KONG IN MAY 1965. BETWEEN 155ON 10646E AND 1530N 10648E. IMPROVED 71
TRAILS AT THAT TIME COMBINED WITH THIS WATER ROUTE TO FORM A SUPPLY
NET BETWEEN THE BAN BAC AREA AT THE END OF ROUTE 92 AND THE CHAVANE
AREA. THIS NEW ROAD CONSTRUCTION AND THE EXTENSION OF ROUTE 92
(REF B), PROBABLY INDICATES AN INTENTION TO INCREASE THE CAPACITY
OF THIS SUPPLY NET DURING THE COMING HIGH-WATER PERIOD OF THE SE
KONG.
