Front: Dear Countrymen and GVN Officials in Phuoc Tuy

Back: The GVN would launch a campaign on the occasion of the Coming Lunar New Year to appeal to people on the VC side to return to families and the national cause.
Like other years, a campaign entitled 'Returning to the Source' will be carried out throughout the Republic of Vietnam from 4th December 1970 to the end of February, 1971. In order to get more results from the campaign the Operational Committee wish to remind people, military men and GVN cadres of the goodwill and the nice purpose of the Government of Vietnam and to participate earnestly in the great human campaign through talking with one another about the Chieu Hoi policy, distributing magazines, booklets and inducement activity and prayers so that the VC combatants will drop their weapons earlier to live with us in peace and harmony.
