*Vietnam: (Information as of 4:30 AM EST)
The Military Situation in South Vietnam: No
major enemy contact has been reported during the
past 24 hours by any of the 31 battalion- sized or
larger allied/South Vietnamese search- and- destroy
operations currently in progress.
Viet Cong - initiated military activity on 20 Jan-
uary was highlighted by simultaneous attacks in the
delta province of Vinh Binh against the district town
of Cang Long and the nearby field position of an ARVN
battalion. Twenty-eight government troops were
killed and 71 wounded, as against known enemy losses
of 15 killed. Reaction troops subsequently dispatched
to the scene have thus far failed to reestablish con-
tact with the attackers.
Additional. information on the pre-dawn Commu-
nist mortar attack of 20 January on a US Marine com-
munications installation at Phu Bai, in northern Thua
Thien Province, places final allied casualties at one
US killed and 35 US and one ROK wounded. The 30-35
rounds of 82-mm. mortar fire which struck the base
caused no major damage to equipment or facilities.
Political Developments in South Vietnam: The
Constituent Assembly has begun its plenary debate of
the draft constitution.
On 19 January, the assembly approved the first
three articles contained in the first chapter of the con-
stitution entitled "Basic Provisions." These include
statements on Vietnamese sovereignty, guarantees of
the basic rights and equality of all citizens, and the de-
lineation of executive, legislative, and judicial respon-
sibilities.

NOTES
Communist China - Macao: Peking, rejecting
the latest Portuguese compromise draft accepting
responsibility for the riots in Macao last December,
has renewed pressure on the colony. Chinese gun-
boats have apparently returned to their stations off
Macao and leftists in the colony have threatened har-
assments and a protest rally. Lisbon may continue
to try to substitute less offensive language, but there
is no indication Peking is prepared to reduce its de-
mands for a full and abject a olo
Chile: Foreign Minister Valdes has denied press
reports that President Frei has definitely canceled his
US trip. The President apparently hopes to find some
way of outmaneuvering the Senate opposition. His pro-
posed constitutional reform to permit dissolution of
Congress and new elections received support yesterday
from Communist Senator Volodia Teitelboim, who
presumably believes the government would lose ground
in a new election. Backing from the Communists and
Socialists would assure passage of the bill.
