DAILY BRIEF
19 FEBRUARY 1965
1. Vietnam
2. South Vietnam
Soviet officials have thus far
adopted a noncommittal attitude on the
possibility of negotiations over Viet-
nam.
Peiping continues its hard line.
A key Chinese editorial of 19 February
reiterated there can be peace in Viet-
nam only after "US aggressors have with-
drawn."
There have been no new major mil-
itary developments in North Vietnam or
Communist China, although there are
continuing signs of a posture of alert.
The situation in Saigon remains
potentially explosive. Rebel forces led
? by Colonel Thao and General Phat con-
trol positions in and around Saigon, but
General Khanh meanwhile is outside Saigon
still trying to round up military support
for himself and has put at least one col-
umn on the road to Saigon.
