Activities of Chinese Proselyting Section, Ba Ria- Long Khanh Province, Region 17. Document outlines the security situation in the area and states that according to a report from Sáu Mui, aka Sau Nho, who is a hamlet Party Chapter member, the enemy ((RVNAF)) took advantage of the suspension of ((VC)) armed activities (since June 68) to activate People's Self-Defense Organizations, to increase recruitment of troops, and to increase economic control in the hamlet. Though the hamlet's People's Self-Defense Organizations were already armed with 60 assorted weapons, there was no guard duty or command channel set up for them. In addition, much attention was paid by the enemy to the northern part of Highway 1 where they had detected trading transactions between the province Finance-Economy Section and the hamlet inhabitants, including ((RVNAF)) Popular Force members. It was reported that Hoang Tan Khin and A Xeo, ((RVNAF)) Popular Force members, were recently arrested by the enemy for having been involved in the above incident. According to the document, Loi Tan Hamlet was recently separated from B40 Party Chapter. Its armed activities, in spite of support from the district Party Committee, were reportedly too weak to disband the ((RVNAF)) hamlet People's Self-Defense Organizations.
