The Key Points
With the rainy season now intensifying, North
Vietnamese logistical activity in southern
Laos and Cambodia diminished further. There
is still heavy NVA logistic movement, however,
in southern North Vietnam and northern South
Vietnam.
Combat activity in violation of the settle-
ment agreements was at a low level in both
South Vietnam and Laos.

bound bias has been evident during the past week.)

vehicle traffic continues. ar e , ub-
stantial logistic flows also continue through Vinh
and the southern part of the North Vietnamese Pan-
handle.

gistic activity were observed in South vietnam dur-
