Kent reported on his trip to Hawaii, noting that he had been given

be likely to cut the election turnout materially. He called to the Direc -
tor's attention a cable from Saigon on land reform.
Warner reported that Senator Mansfield's office would be in touch
today on the timing of the proposed briefing by the Director on The
Vietnamese Communists' Will to Persist.
