Letter to Military Assisstance Command Vietnam (MACV) from accredited women correspondents

Description

Letter to Military Assisstance Command Vietnam (MACV) from accredited women correspondents protesting new rules banning them from combat zones at night. The letter starts with a copy of a letter from Lt. Col. John G. Rose about rules for female correspondents in combat areas. The letter claims women should be treated the same as male correspondents, but goes on to say that women should not be in combat zones at night, effectively blocking them from combat zones altogether.
