SUNDAY CABLE TO SAN CLEMENTE
26 July 2970
CAMBODIA
The military situation remains quiet with only widely
scattered enemy harassing actions reported. An intercepted
message suggests that the Communists are planning to step
up their activity in Cambodia, but it is not clear how
widespread or extensive the action will be.
In the west, Siem Reap city continues to receive
harassing fire, but no casualties have been reported.
Government positions south of Kompong Thom city also con-
tinue to receive harassing fire. A force of 200 Communist
troops has been seen near Kompong Thom city moving north-
west along Route 6. East of the city, a government patrol
reportedly killed two enemy soldiers in a skirmish.
The Communists apparently are also continuing their
efforts to organize the rural population in areas around
Kompong Thom. A Cambodian army message claims they have
set up political-military committees in the villages and
created administrative zones and districts in the areas
under their control. The Communists are also reported to
be collecting taxes from the inhabitants.
Some 2,100 Communist troops reportedly are still po-
sitioned in areas to the east of Route 15 in the vicinity
of Prey yang city, but no military engagements have been
reported. The Communists have set up training, recruitment,
and supply and transit bases in the Elephant Mountains near
the vital Route 4 from Phnom Penh to Kompong Som, according
to a Cambodian army message.
