COVERT ANNEX - HIGHLIGHTS
NORTH VIETNAM
SOUTH VIETNAM
A CIA source in the Chinese Nationalist
diplomatic mission in Saigon has reported
GRC plans to assist dissident Cambodian
leader Son Ngoc Thanh in a political action
campaign against the Sihanouk government.
The GRC is also exploring. Thanh's capability
for penetrating the Cambodian government and
the feasibility of assassinating Sihanouk.
Over 700,000 CIA-designed leaflets were dropped
into the Haiphong/Lay Kay areas in April. The
objective of this operation, in addition to familiarizing
the DRV population with the anti-communism symbol
on the leaflets, is to create a diversion within North
Vietnam proper which may dissipate DRV security
strengths in response to psywar and deception
activities, and thus lessen DRV capability for action
in South Vietnam.
A two-month Civic Action Ministry training course
`for 229 montagnard cadres was completed in April.
The first priority of these graduates, in direct
satisfaction of requirements levied by General Rosson
during his visit, is formation of fixed teams for use
at Special Forces camps. Included in the course
were 45 Vietnamese civic action cadre, all tribal
dialect speakers, who will serve as team chiefs.
