In Washington on February second, President Johnson discussed the recent attacks in South Vietnam at a news conference.

He said there were no successful results from peace negotiations to report at that time.

Charlie Mercer at KLIK. A word between the records: a request can be for somebody else. It need not be a birthday, and it need not come with a speech. A name and a tune will do.
- Service spotSavings
Let your tour in Vietnam count for something. The Uniformed Services Savings Deposit Program pays ten percent interest on authorized deposits. You may arrange a regular amount from your pay and go home with money in the bank. For eligibility, limits, and deposit instructions, see your unit finance office.
- Service spotDriving
A vehicle does not care whether you are tired, angry, late, or thinking about tomorrow. It goes exactly where you point it. Keep your eyes on the road, keep both hands ready, and leave the radio controls alone until you stop. In rain, dust, convoy traffic, or blackout conditions, slow down before the road makes the decision for you. Drive as if the other fellow has not seen you. He may not have.

Next, Silas Rook and the County Company with A Fine Day for Staying Put. Then Earl Baines and the County Lights, Two Honest Lies.

- Service spotBlack Market
There are markets for practically everything in Vietnam, and one market will buy or sell almost anything: the black market. It deals in stolen and illegal goods. Military equipment, supplies, and military payment certificates do not belong there. Do not buy from the black market, and do not feed it by selling government property.
