Further economic aid, he made clear, depends on observance of the Tashkent agreement to a cease-fire and a pullback in Kashmir. Also, the two countries must take realistic self-help measures and, in view of the shared threat of Communist China, spare the Administration gratuitous criticism of U.S. foreign policy. Finally, Humphrey intimated that some non-military assistance for South Viet Nam would not be ill-received in Washington, though this was not made a condition of continuing...

"We must all work harder and make sacrifices. I have no magic...
...Operation Harvest Moon's" plan was simple enough. Vietnamese troops were to move deep into Quang Tin as bait. When the Viet Cong struck, waiting U.S. Marine units at Danang, Chu Lai and aboard the aircraft carrier two Juma would helilift in to the rescue, surround, and hopefully wipe out the Viet Cong attackers...
