Letter, dated 25 Nov 68, signed by Ka65, Depot 598, addressed to brother Dung of ((Binh Dinh)) Prov Unit HQ, reveals that "Ka65" could not attend the conference, due to poor health, but Comrade Tan, a cadre with the longest length of service in Depot 598, would go in his place. "Ka65" discloses that his unit has been working successfully with the "underwater" ((poss meaning underwater demolition)) mission for over a year in this area, but since its reassignment to "Thi" ((poss abbreviation for Thi Doi City Unit)) in Apr ((68)), it sustained heavy personnel and material losses. Only five personnel including Ka65 remain in the unit. Due to the lack of personnel and equipment, at present this unit is not capable of accomplishing the assigned strategic mission, and therefore it is disregarded by members of the City Party Committee. Ka65 asks Dung to request instruction from MR ((5)) concerning the improvement of the present situation of Depot 598. (U) CDEC COMMENT: No Further Exploitable Information. (C) Activitities of Elements in MR 5.
