GVN PLANS TO IMPLEMENT THE PRIME MINISTER'S RECENT
.DECISIONS; AND GENERALLY TO DISCUSS PHUNG HOANG. IT SHOULD

BE UNDERSSTOOD, AS IDENS A AND B WILL EXPLAIN IN MORE DETAIL,
THAT EVERY PROPOSAL WE HAVE MADE TO THE GVN ABOUT PHUNG
HQANG ? -HAS BEEN MOTIVATED BY A DESIRE TO IMPROVE THE TOTAL
ANTI-VCI EFFORT AND CERTAINLY NOT AS THE PAPER SEEMS TO
IMPLY TO RATIONALIZE AN EARLY CURTAILMENT OF THE ADVISORY
STRUCTURE.
(C) REFERENCE YOUR CONCLUSIONS, WE DO PLAN TO
MAINTAIN A REDUCED ADVISORY EFFORT AT NATIONAL, REGIONAL,
AND IN SELECTED CASES PROVINCIAL LEVELS THROUGH CY 72.
A SURVEY OF ANTI-VCI TRAINING AS YOU SUGGESTED WAS PLANNED/
PRIOR 110 RECEIPT OF YOUR WORKING PAPER AND IS IN PROGRESS.
YOUR FINAL RECOMMENDATION AS TO AN IDEAL IN-COUNTRY ADVISORY
EFFORT IS NOT SO EASY TO COPE WITH CONSIDERING THE
ACCELERATED PERSONNEL DRAWN-DOWN NOW IN PROGRESS. HERE
