THROUGH S Deputy Director for xntell,igence
SUB CT t Transmittal of Memorandum Entitled "South Vietnam:
Estimated Manpower Balance, Age Group 15.15,
1967,1
1. T'ransnnitted herewith is the memorandum on the manpower
balance in South Vietnam that you requested for Ambassador
Deonhart's office.
2. Because of the data problems noted in the memorandtun,
this has turned out to be an exploratory study with the con?
elusions indicating a broad range of possibilities. Moreover,,,
we have not attempted to distribute the derived residuals by
geographic areas, because the low degree of accuracy that could
be achieved from existing data would make sucha distribution
almost meaningless.
3. It appears that surveys ire currently underway i
Saigon to improve the data base. As additional, statietica
become available, we will hope Uy be in a position to im< 25X1
prove on th..s initial effort..
