State

said
today
that

battle

tle
activity
in
South
Vietnam
last
week
may
have
dropped
to
the
lowest
level
of
the
war
and
he
indicated
this
could
increase
United
States
troop
withdrawals
if
the
lull
continues
Rogers
also
told
a
news
con
ference
that
we
know
pretty
conclusively
that
the
infiltra
infiltration
�
tion
of
North
Vietnamese
troops
Into
South
Vietnam
has
declined
in
the
last
two
or
three
months
but
the
reason
for
this
is
not
clear
Rogers
cautioned
that
the
rea
reason
�
son
for
the
battlefield
lull
is
not
yet
quite
clear
either
saying
more
time
would
be
required
to
decide
whether
it
is
politically
significant
He
said
however
that
we
hope
this
is
a
response
to
the
announcement
b
y

Nixon

President
Thieu
of

Vietnam

�
ment
June

disclosed
Nixons
decision
to
withdraw
25000
American
troops
by

end
of

Rogers
suggested
the
reason
for
the
battlefield
lull
could
be
because
North
Vietnamese
forces
might
be
regrouping
or
might
be
having
trouble
replac
lng
their

On
other
subjects
Rogers
said
the
US
administration
sees
no

why
