Teday the Commission released the details of its proposals. The Council, at its meeting on 15 December 1964, asked the Commission to submit, before 1 April 1965: 1) a report on the financing of the common agricultural policy since August 1962, and 2) proposals for its financing in the period 1965-1967 and in the single market stage, particularly after common prices are introduced for the different agricultural products. The Council decided last December on the comm~n level of cereals prices and also agreed that, from 1 July 1967, all eligible expenditures would be financed by the EAGGF (European Agri­ cultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund) for grains, pork and pork products, eggs and poultry sectors.

CHURCH Chalk River, Ontario AECL-2750 HISTORICAL In 1963 an investigation of promising major future research projects in the field of atomic energy was undertaken with a view to carrying forward the very successful research and development made possible by Chalk River's NRU reactor. This soon concentrated on the intense neutron generator. The basic idea of such a machine was first investigated in the early 19501s, but at that time accelerator techniques were not sufficiently developed to make it attractive. Also, through the years, the emphasis has changed from the production of fissile material to the production of neutrons. Detailed study of an intense neutron generator (ING) commenced at Chalk River in 1964 and has resulted in a number of publications, commencing with report AECL-2059, August, 1964. This current document provides an outline of the project as it is now visualized and reports advances and changes occurring as a result of continued study over the past year. In the summer of 1966 report AECL-2600 was issued giving full technical details of the study, which at that time concen- trated on the new and untried separated orbit cyclotron (SOC as the accelerator for producing the required continuous beam of protons at 65 mA and GeV.

Harold B. Birch (1929-2012) – US Army - retired Battalion Commander 1/12th Infantry 1967 Years ago the late Harold Birch (1929-2012) wrote his analysis of the July 12, 1967 battle, a battle that resulted in the costliest amount of casualties that the Red Warriors sustained while in Vietnam. 32 men from Bravo company lost their lives, and it was the only time Red Warrior POWs were taken by the enemy. LTC Birch assumed command of the battalion shortly after this incident, and as he states, “ The events of July 12 overshadowed all else that preceded my arrival.” He and his staff take months to piece together what happened that day. The following is the result of these efforts, and unlike other Battle Reports on this website, we use LTC Birch’s narrative to tell the story as he sees it. Editor: October 2015 (Thanks to Kevin Watson for providing this document) LTC Harold Birch FORWARD The Ia Drang River Valley, Vietnam, July 1967 In July of 1967, not far to the northwest of the 1965 site of the very first major engagement between the American and North Vietnamese Armies, elements of the 1st Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment (Red Warriors) fought against a desperate battle against heavy odds (1).
