...must also respect the political p. visions of the Laos agreement by not inciting the Lao rigntists--such as Phoumi Nosavan--as it has in the past.

Souvanna has survived three major attempts to overthrow his government in the past four months, and rightist bands loyal to exiled Deputy Premier Phoumi Nosavan-in Thailand since February's coup attempt-still prowl the countryside between Paksane and Thakhek...
