South Vietnam - Defense Expenditures
Defense expenditures budgeted by the Saigon government in 1967 totaled 53,000 million piasters (US$450 million), rose to 75,000 million piasters in 1968 and had to be supplemented before the year was out. In 1969 they totaled at least 95,000 million piasters. much of the current increase is due to mobilization of additional manpower, but much is necessitated by morale-building programs and a heavier sustained rate of combat operations.
