Henceforth, says the resolution, Communist cadres are to organize and prepare for the time when U.S. forces leave and Communist troops can once again operate freely in South Viet Nam. Among other things, the order calls for a step-up in terror and sapper attacks; it also urges guerrillas to form secret three-to five-man cells that can operate "legally" in towns and hamlets.
