capital of remote Koh Kong Province on the southwestern
coast. At least two government positions near the town of
Koh Kong, 130 miles west of Phnom Penh, fell on June 27. The
local government commander has reported his understrength

elsewhere in the country remains at a low level. The Com-
munists have not yet seriously contested recent government
gains on Routes 4 and 5, southwest and north of Phnom Penh

respectively.
