SUBJECT: The Enemy Threat to Khe Sanh, A Speculative Appraisal
3.5(c)
1. Attached is a memorandum on "The Enemy Threat to Khe Sanh, "
which is primarily the work of of our Related Activities Center.
It runs up a warning flag I think should be heeded. If Mr. R.J. Smith
and his colleagues concur, I would recommend that this memorandum be
published through the DDI mechanism as an Agency paper and circulated
around the community before the battle for Khe Sanh commences.
2. memorandum was written prior to the receipt of
General Westmoreland's EYES ONLY estimate of current enemy strategy
General Westmoreland's piece, however, does not provide
new data contradicting judgments or requiring any substantial
rewrite of the attached memo.
