Abstract:
Continuation of the winter-spring campaign was the basic Viet Cong (VC) policy in Tay Ninh Province during December. While VC-initiated military incidents decreased during the month, the overall level of VC activity increased. The biggest increase was in VC terrorist activity, particularly kidnapping which netted the VC more than 270 persons. VC taxation activities remained high during the month, and there were indications that they were enjoying some success. However, a captured district level finance-economy section clerk stated that the movement of people from VC-controlled territory into Government of Vietnam New Life Hamlets had caused a sharp drop in VC tax revenues.
