from rural Vietnamese for the South's government and counter the Viet Cong
influence. It was in place from 1967 to 1983. While those who implemented the
, program saw it as a successful joint civilian military operation, others saw it as too little
too late. Any successes were eroded in the 1970s and North Vietnam prevailed in 1975.

continuing resolutions
Foreign policy developed under President Kennedy in response to President
Eisenhower's New Look policy. Many felt that a new, more-flexible approach was
needed to address communist-inspired revolutions in Third World countries.
Kennedy's administration believed that the United States should have a wide variety of
military and nonmilitary responses to such communist provocations. Kennedy
presented to Congress an outline of a strategy that would come to be known as
Flexible Deterrent Options in March 1961, and it was adopted as an official national
security policy of the United States. NATO adopted the strategy in 1967. This policy
allowed the president to respond to a crisis and meet each hostile action with a
proportional reaction. The lines of attack included diplomatic measures (such as
pursuing strong relations with potential allies while being ready to withdraw embassy
personnel on short notice), political measures (such as increasing the dialogue with
the press and releasing frequent public policy statements), economic measures (such
as increasing or canceling American aid to other countries), and, perhaps most
important, military measures (such as modernizing the U.S. missile fleet, increasing
conventional capabilities, and intensifying training for special forces).
