NOTES
South Vietnam:
In contrast to Tet 1973,
when they were ordered to seize more territory, Com-
munist troops have been told not to fight this year
unless Saigon's forces encroach on Communist-held
territory. COSVN also reportedly ordered its troops
to take advantage of the holiday spirit to fraternize
with government soldiers.
North Korea - USSR:
23 tanks on board a Soviet train
bound for North Korea. The tanks may be part of an
arms agreement reportedly concluded between the two
countries in January 1972. Since then, the Soviets
have delivered MIG-21 and SU-7 aircraft, as well as
substantial amounts of air defense equipment to
North Korea,
