It appeared to wipe out the 1S65 target for withdrawal of most United States military personnel from Viet Nam. The 1965 deadline had been set by the White House following the September visit to Viet Nam by Defense Secretary Robert Mc-Namara.

When that troop announcement was made, many Vietnamese interpreted it as a sign the United States would start withdrawing from Viet Nam in 1965 regardless of the stage of the giierrilhi war against the Communists. Jthnscn's letter did not mention 19C5. But. diplomatic observers noted thnl it in effect eliminated the deadline by promising Minh: "The United States will continue to furnish you and your people with the fullest measure of support in this bitter fight. We shall maintain in Viet Nam American personnel and mate-rinl as needed to assist you in achieving victory," Birth Parade ELLWOOD CITY Boys outnumbered girls, 2R to 26, in 54 births at Mary Evans Maternity Hospital during December.
