On 11 October, North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao troops overran a small outpost-on the - northeastern edge of the Bolovens Plateau overlook,? ing Route 16. Farther south on the plateau, enemy units continued to probe the defenses around Site 26 near Attopeu-, but governmentforces held their ground. The government withdrawal from the Toum- lane Valley, noted in yesterday's Daily Brief, was not caused by enemy pressure. The units had completed more than a month of successful harassment operations, dur- ing which they destroyed enemy supplies and mined about 25 miles of Route 23 in anticipation of increased Communist supply movements during the dry season. 2 FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A008800130001-6 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A008800130001-6 FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY NOTE FOR THE PRESIDENT ONLY 50X1 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A008800130001-6 , Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A008800130001-6 Top Secret Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2016/04/27 : CIA-RDP79T00936A008800130001-6
