Of equal significance, Defense Secretary Robert McNamara reported last week, the Viet Cong, during the last half of 1966, "appear to have lost about as many men as they were able to infiltrate from North Viet Nam and recruit in South Viet Nam."

Instead a new policy of fund-raising was adopted. Under this a number of efforts of equal standing (in terms of the attention and assistance they may expect to receive from the central administration) have now been authorized.
