It’s a safe bet to say most people outgrew their fascination with playing in mud sometime in elementary school. Even though no single program is the panacea to the NVA infiltration problem, the combination of the Practice Nine program in Laos, Phase III Prairie Fire, and programmed increases in current Prairie Fire operations would seriously degrade the NVA capability to move troops and supplies through Laos.5. This rainy season they may be able convert that sort of forward activity into positive territorial gains.3.

Lao "patriotic" forces preferred to call an earlier and more traditional halt to the dry season at a May 18 celebration in Sam Neua. Instead of weather modification, Commando Lava involved dispersing a mix of the chemicals trisodium nitrilotriacetic acid and sodium triphosphate that’s generally—and inaccurately—referred to as a “soap” or “detergent.” Better government posture did not always match military success. The North Vietnamese retain their dual objective of keeping the corridor open to South Vietnam, and occupying much of North Laos under the facade of the Lao "Patriotic" Front. “Commando Lava has been laid to rest,” the message stated. Top Secret; Limited Distribution. He has recently reaffirmed these views and the belief that it is unrealistic even to consider extension of the zone--with attendant risks--when our resources do not permit more than nibbling at opportunities for application of the SLAM concept of concentrated ground-air interdiction within the established Prairie Fire zone.

Approximately 120 US Special Forces personnel will ultimately be required in Laos for proper control and development of the guerrilla force.3. This rests, in part, on the international support which the Royal Lao Government has enjoyed since the 1962 Geneva settlement, support which Prime Minister Souvanna Phouma earnestly seeks to retain. Despite their grossly exaggerated claim of having killed over 3500 "reactionary" troops, shot down or damaged 183 planes, and liberated over 40,000 people, they were probably much more anxious to see the end of this than previous dry seasons.2. Rain falling on these chemicals results in chelation and dispersion of soil, in such measure that mud loses all consistency and becomes incapable of supporting vehicles or any other substantial weight. (Washington National Records Center, RG 330, OASD/ISA Files: FRC 71 A 4919, Laos 000.1--(381 Laos), 1967)7. They should coordinate their actions better than they do. The shortage looms so acutely, as planning for Illinois City progresses, that COMUSMACV is still pressing for use of Thai units, despite the judgment of both Ambassador Martin and Ambassador Sullivan, which we share, that use of US-Thai teams will not be acceptable under the conditions contemplated.It would not seem prudent to dilute programs already approved for the sake of a new variation unless there were exciting prospects of success. In light contradiction (Ref B) between Souvanna's desire for reassurances on specific points and his wish not to know what we are doing, will have to leave to your judgment how best to bring him to awareness that we have taken his concerns (which we share) fully into account in reaching decision to proceed.
