So far, contacts in both the "Fishhook" and "Parrot's Bea3~" areas, where the two large operations are under way, have been sporadic and generally light. Enemy losses of both materiel and personnel have risen over the weekend, however, with many of the .casualties resulting from successful allied air strikes. Over 700 enemy dead are reported in the "Fishhook" area after three days of the operations while in the "Parrot's Beak" South Vietnamese forces claim to have killed over-1,500 since 29 April. Al- lied losses from the two operations have totaled around 100 killed and 700 wounded. Within South Vietnam, the Communists are carry- ing on with their current offensive phase. During the night of 2-3 May, there were at least 87 enemy incidents reported--one of the most active periods since 1 April. The .bulk of the actions occurred in the III and IV Corps areas covering the southern half of the country. Two US air installations, in- cluding Bien Hoa air base, received mortar or rocket .fire. In the delta, rural outposts manned by local securit forces were sin led out far enemy harass- ment. 4 May 70 Central Intelligence Bulletin SECRET Approved For Release 2003/03/28: CIA-RDP79T00975A016200010001-0 Approved For Release 2003/0~~$I,~~P79T00975A016200010001-0 Government forces briefly - reoCCUpy outpOSt ygouam Long {91(1 ft
