*Vietnam: (Information as of 4:30 AM EST)
The Military Situation in South Vietnam: Small-
scale Viet Cong attacks appear to be picking up again
in the delta area south of Saigon. On 17 February,
South Vietnamese troops in Long An Province lost six
killed and six wounded while successfully defending a
government outpost. Twenty-one civilian houses were
destroyed during the action. Viet Cong losses were
28 killed and 17 weapons lost.
Further south, Communist forces under the cover
of mortar fire attacked another outpost in Bac Lieu
Province and inflicted government losses of 19 killed,
one wounded, two missing, and 31 weapons. Viet Cong
casualties are unknown. Other similar attacks have
recently been reported in Phong Dinh, Dinh Tuong, and
Kien Hoa provinces.
.Enemy-initiated incidents have increased markedly
in the Saigon area in the past three months. US mili-
tary officials confirmed the existence of a Viet Cong
regiment within a 20-mile radius of the capital last De-
cember, e Vie ong have p ans to form a secon regiment.
Various evidence suggests intensified political action
by the Viet Cong in Saigon during the coming year, as
well as the continued growth of enemy military activity
in the general capital area. The US Embassy has com-
mented that the increasingly restive mood of the Viet-
namese residing in Saigon--due largely to spiraling in-
flation--may make them more .vulnerable to Viet Cong
political pressure.
Communist political cadres are planning to infiltrate
Saigon during the coming_. onths to undertake a strong
political action pro ram

USSR: The Soviets Moscow are is attempting playing ting up to the stir up crash misgivings

among US allies over the deployment of nuclear weap-
ons on foreign territories and to buttress the Soviet
position in the Geneva disarmament talks.. Soviet
Foreign Minister Gromyko handed an aide memoire
to Ambassador Kohler on 16 February which charged
that the incident constituted a violation by the US of
international agreements pertaining to the prevention
of radioactive contamination., Gromyko pointed out
that the flight beyond national borders of aircraft
carrying nuclear weapons was an issue of international
concern, and in this instance was "in conflict with"
the test ban treaty.
Subsequently, Soviet delegate Tsarapkin intro-
duced the subject at the Geneva conference, which
was beginning deliberations on a nonproliferation.

endorse a resolution calling for discontinuance of
such flights as well as for the elimination of foreign
bases.

ended with rightists calling President Garcia Godoy
the "docile instrument of Juan Bosch" and the ex-
treme left labeling Bosch's agreement to end the
strike as a "betrayal of the revolution for electoral
pretensions." It is still uncertain what measures
Garcia Godoy will use, if necessary, to force the
army and air force chiefs to step down. In an effort
to mitigate criticism that he has favored the left, the
President decreed on 18 February the dismissal of
over 80 municipal officials and two of the 26 provin-
cial governors, nearly all of whom he privately
claimed were supporters of Bosch's Dominican Rev-
olutionary Party.
