(0367/02/041] SECRET NOVEMBER 22, 1971 BRAGAN/RIPPE PROTECTIVE REACTION STRIKES: North Vietnamese anti-aircraft artillery positions were the targets of three separate protective reaction strikes by U.S. aircraft during the weekend. Two of the airstrkes occurred in the Mu Gia Pass area after U.S. fighter bombers, on missions over Laos, received anti-aircraft fire from gun positions across the border in North Vietnam. Both gun positions were silenced. The third protective reaction strike was executed in response to North Vietnamese AAA fire directed at a Navy RA-5C reconnaissance aircraft and its fighter escorts as they overflew Vinh airfield. The four A-7E escorts expended anti-personnel and 500 pound bombs on the AAA positions, but the results of the reaction strike are not known at this time. All aircraft involved in the protective reaction strikes exited North Vietnam safely. (NMCC) DECLASSIFIED E.O. 13526, Section 3.5 NLN 04-666/7895 Per Ltr. 6/6/2012 By Dinl NARA, Date 12/22/2014 Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library. MIH CP. 10F3] 1 SECRET NOVEMBER 22, 1971 DELL BRAGAN SOVIET NAVAL ACTIVITY IN CUBA: The guided-missile light cruiser, guided- missile frigate and one F-class submarine departed Cienfuegos Saturday afternoon. At present two of these vessels are operating north of Jamaica and heading in a southeasterly direction. The guided-missile frigate was sighted in the Windward passage heading northwest. The intelligence collector has not been located since November 20. The second F-class submarine and ocean rescue tug are thought to be at Mariel.

Cambodian forces have succeeded in tabing Trial Leap. West of the capital There was little Lactivity reported in the THOR LIZED area, although there continue to be reports of large numbers of enemy in the region. The absence of significant resistance to government deployments by elements of the Phuoc Long Front (formerly NVA 1st Division) suggests the enemy has chosen to disengage, at least temporarily. North and northeast of Phnom Penh the most significant communist-initiated activity was reported from the Kompong Cham City area where the enemy continued his stepped-up harassment of Cambodian positions north and south of the province capital. In the CHENLA II area, the northern and southern task forces reported only light contact; linkup between the two has still not been completed, (Ops Int Sum) Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library. NLN 04-66/7895: P.30F3 (0337/02/046) SECRET Jim Shaw November 16, 1971 Protective Reaction Strike in North Vietnam: Three F-4s on a road inter- diction mission in the vicinity of the Mu Gia Pass in Laos, received 14 rounds of 37-mm fire from a gun position across the border in North Viet- nam overnight. The U.S. aircraft expended four 2,000 pound general purpose bombs in a protective reaction strike against the site. (NMCC) Israeli Reaction to Rogers' Interview: Secretary Rogers' interview with U.S. News and World Report in which he states that "up to now the balance of power has not shifted" and that "President Nixon has made it quite clear that he is going to be sure that the military balance is continued, has come under attack from Israeli officials. Ambassador Rabin said Rogers' remarks are "unacceptable" and "we do not accept his evaluation--neither from the military nor a political standpoint". Military sources said Rogers "was deliberately ignoring the facts" and that "Rogers knows better and is fully aware of Soviet intentions to turn the Middle East into a testing round for Russia's advanced military equipment". (press) Postponement of Castro's Activities Due to Exhaustion: According to a Chilean Presidential Office announcement Prime Minister Castro has pushed back all of his activities for 24 hours due to exhaustion. (press) Press Reports on Further U.S. Troop Withdrawals: An Associated Press report from Saigon states that informed sources say that U.S. troop strength in Vietnam will be reduced to between 60,000 and 95,000 men by 30 June. : (Press) DECLASSIFIED E.O. 13526, Section 3.5 NLN 04-66 17900 PerLtr. 6/6/2012 By DMMHIT NARA, Date 12/22/2014 Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library. CP. 1 OF 3) TOP SECRET CODEWORD Jim Shaw November 16, 1971 Cambodia: The enemy threat to Phnom Penh has increased with the movement of a major NVA regimental headquarters to within 15 miles of the capital. DIVERSION The US Defense Attache reports that despite the division of some forces which were destined for the Chenla area to the capital, the city's defenses are not coordinated. Meanwhile Lon Nol has split the Chenla II area of operations into two sections to hold the towns along Route 6, but has not ordered the reopening of Route 6 itself. The Assistant U.S. Army Attache who visited Baray yesterday reports that government casualties during the recent fighting could number as high as four to six battalions. However this figure could be revised downward as more complete information is received. Elsewhere the Pochentong Airfield has resumed full operations despite a third consecutive day of enemy shelling. (OpsIntSum) Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library. NLN 04-66/7900 P. 3 TOP SECRET CODEWORD Jim Shaw November 16, 1971 Vietnam Military: Military activity remained light and scattered throughout South Vietnam. Nine enemy troops were killed During an engagement with an ARVN battalion 10 miles southwest of Hue. There were no friendly casualties. On 14 November an ARVN ranger border defense battalion engaged a com- pany size enemy force 22 miles west of Plieku City. Fourteen enemy soldiers were killed when they triggered a mechanical ambush while withdrawing. One ranger was wounded. (OpsIntSum) Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library.
