Liberated Zones well Established

Mr Kirk's charges that the P.R.G. does not control territory and population are quite false. Even before the P.R.G. was established the N.L.F. controlled a considerable amount of territory in South Vietnam and had established its own administration in the liberated areas. P.R.G. documents captured by the Americans, which relate to financial administration, show just how well established the P.R.G. is.

When we were in Sydney we asked the P.R.G. delegation why their government had not yet established a capital. The Vietnamese laughed and replied that if they loudly proclaimed a capital in South Vietnam they would just be asking for a massive attack by Thieu's airforce and troops. But just because Mr Kirk can't find the P.R.G.'s capital that does not mean that the P.R.G.'s administration does not exist.
