SUBJECT : Proposed Revised Format for Weekly Report on Communist
Violations of the Vietnam and Laos Settlement Agreements
1. Our instructions from the White House are:
(a) Continue putting out the weekly violations report
on a weekly basis.
(b) Include in it everything which has heretofore been
included, plus anything of significance which has
previously been published in the now discontinued
CIA weekly, "Recent Communist Logistical and Manpower
Developments in Indochina."
(c) The report, with this added material, should continue
to be produced jointly by the CIA and the DOD.
2. The following format for the new report is proposed:
~-o
(a) The title of the report, "Communist Violations of
rUAW4
the Vietnam and Laos Settlements, will remain
unchanged. The cover of the report will also
remain unchanged.
(b) The first page of the report, containing the "Key
(c)
Points" and the footnote that it has been prepared
jointly by the CIA and the DOD, will also continue
unchanged.
The rest of the report will be organized according
to the outline on the following page.

The Details
NOTE: This is the twenty-first in a series of reports detailing
recently received evidence of (I) Communist efforts to infiltrate
new manpower and military materiel toward and into South Vietnam,
(II) Communist-initiated combat activity in violation of the Vietnam
and Laos settlement agreements, and (III) other developments affecting
Communist military capabilities in Indochina. As with previous
issues, we have prepared sections I and II of this memorandum in
sterilized form in order to minimize the risk of source exposure
if parts of the memorandum are used outside U.S. government channels.
For U.S. eyes only, we have appended a listing of specific sources
to sections I and II at ANNEX A.

and Military Supplies.

1. All information relating to infiltration which cannot be

paper ~J

2. All information on logistical developments which is related,
even indirectly, to violations would go into AMOK B., not into
section III of the main paper.
3. Section III of the main paper would be limited to developments
which are not related to violations (either actual or presumptive
violations). Listed below are several examples of the type of
development which would go into section. III (these are picked at
random out of the last two issues of the CIA report on manpower and
logistical developments in Indochina).

4. Wherever appropriate when discussing violations, talk about
them in terms of what has happened after 15 June, as well as what has
happened since 27 January.
5. The table of ceasefire violations in South. Vietnam _- as
reported by the RVNAF -- should be changed. Leave out the figures
on total incidents since 27 January, and put in their place the
statistics for incidents since 15 June, the effective date of the
"second" ceasefire.
