MEMORANDUM FOR RECORD 

From: LtCol Fontenot 

To: File 

DECLASSIFIED

Subj: Collection and storage of rice 

Ref: (a) ltrs from CO 2/26 to CG 3d MarDiv dtd 7#12 Nov 67 

1. Ref (a) reported rice collection efforts in the Phu Bai TAOR. 

This rice was previously stored in private caches and subject to 

VC tax collection efforts. Recent operations by 2/26 in conjunction 

with National Police uncovered there private hOards and 

subsequent efforts by 2/26 brought much of the rice under centralized 

control. 

2. I referred both letters to the G-5 with a copy of Op Order 

385-66 (Golden Fleece) and my own comments concerning the need 

for positive control of rice resources by the government. 

Comments regarding "Golden Fleece" operations in support of rice 

harvesting and related measures to deny rice to the VC after harvesting 

have been requested from the G-5. LtCol Thompson is 

preparing a concept of centralized control of rice resources which, 

if accepted, would enable Thua Thien and Quang Tri Provinces to 

secure much of the crop after harvesting.
