Chính Phủ Lâm Thời VNCH - Provisional Government of
Vietnam
1963-965 Khoảng thời gian vô chính phủ tại miền Nam Việt-Nam.
Sau khi Tổng thống Ngô Đình Diệm bị lật đổ cả miền Nam
đã lâm vào tình trạng vô chính phủ vì không còn ai có đủ khả năng kinh ban tế
thế như cố Tổng Thống Ngô Đình Diệm để lảnh đạo một quốc gia trong tình trạng
kinh tế nghèo nàn và đang trong tình trạng phải đối đầu với khối cộng sản thế
giới bao gồm cả Nga lẩn Tàu.
Đây là điều mà chính phủ Hoa Kỳ muốn miền Nam Việt-Nam
phải bị động lọt vào thế không lối thoát để có thể đổ quân vào Đà Nẵng ngày 8
tháng Ba năm 1965 (March 8 1965) mà
không gặp một sự chống đối nào từ phía miền Nam vì gạo đã thành cơm.

Lesson in Vietnam from
Kissinger to Nixon:… “when we made it “our war” we would not let
the South Vietnamese fight it; when it again became “their war”, we would not
help them fight it.”
(We
also had trouble with excesses here: when we
made it “our war” we would not let the South Vietnamese fight it; when it again
became “their war,” we would not help them fight it. Ironically, we
prepared the South Vietnamese for main force warfare after 1954 (anticipating another Korean-type attack), and they faced a political war; they had prepared
themselves for political warfare after 1973 only to be faced with a main force
invasion 20 years after it had been expected.)

strategic hamlets, a
South Vietnamese Government program to counter Viet Cong control in the
countryside. The government relocated farmers into fortified hamlets to provide
defense, economic aid, and political assistance to residents. The hope was that
protection from Viet Cong raids and taxation would bind the rural populace to
the government and gain their loyalty. The program started in 1962, but was
fatally undermined by over expansion and poor execution. By 1964 it had clearly
failed.

1.
Subject-Numeric Indexed Central Files. In February
1963, the Department changed its decimal central files to a subject-numeric
central file system. This volume and its companion, volume III, are the first
to be published in the Foreign Relations series in which the Department’s
central files come exclusively from the new system. As part of the transition
from the old to two system, the Department of State encouraged its indexers to
cross references extensively and to include the first page of the referenced
document in the cross referenced file. The system allows the researcher to
begin in a basic file and by noting the cross references discover other
pertinent files.
The subject-numeric system was divided into broad
categories: Administration, Consular, Culture and Information, Economic,
Political and Defense, Science, and Social. Within each of these divisions were
subcategories. For example, Political and Defense contained four subtopics: POL
(politics), DEF (Defense), CSM (Communism), and INT (Intelligence). Numerical
subdivisions further defined them. For example, POL 15-1 was used for
documentation concerning the head of state and/or the Executive Branch of any
country. Therefore POL 15-1 S VIET contains documentation on South Vietnam’s
President; POL 15-1 CAMB would contain documentation of Cambodia’s Head of
State, Prince Norodom Sihanouk.
The following were the principal files used in this
volume:
- POL S VIET and
POL 1 S VIET, both containing background material for general policy
- POL 2 S VIET,
general reports and statistics
- POL 14 S VIET,
elections
- POL 15 S VIET,
government
- POL 15-1 S
VIET, head of government/Executive branch
- POL 16 S VIET,
recognition of the new government
- POL 18 S VIET,
provincial and municipal government
- POL 26 S VIET,
undesignated but used in Vietnam for coup planning
- POL 27 S VIET,
military operations
- POL 27-10 S
VIET, chemical weapons
- POL 30-1 S
VIET, asylum.
- POL 27 VIET,
military operations
- POL 32-4 VIET,
territorial waters
- The system
could also combine two countries or a country and an individual. Files of
these types cited in this volume were:
- POL 8 S
VIET-US, U.S.-South Vietnamese discussions of neutralism and
non-alignment
- POL
US-MCNAMARA and POL 7 US-MCNAMARA, documentation relating to the
Secretary of Defense generally and to his trips
- POL CAMB-S VIE
T, general South Vietnamese-Cambodian relations
- POL 27-13
CAMB, Cambodia’s neutrality in the Vietnam war
The POL Files comprise the most cited sources in the
volume, but there are other files containing important documentation. Much of
the documentation on the Buddhist opposition to the Diem government are found
in the social category, SOC (social relations) 12-1 S VIET, churches and sects
including clergy (bonzes) and SOC 14-1 S VIET, general human rights policies in
South Vietnam. Most military-related documents were in DEF 19 S VIET, the
general file for military assistance to Vietnam or in DEF 19 US-S VIET, U.S.
military assistance to South Vietnam. The CSM S VIET file was surprisingly
sparse, indicating that it was little used by indexers during this period.
Documentation on economic assistance was found almost exclusively in AID (US) S
VIET ORG 7 OSD is a administrative file used for the visits of Secretary of
Defense McNamara; PER-LODGE, HENRY CABOT is Ambassador Lodge’s personnel file;
INF 8 US is the basic psychological operations file; FT 1 S VIET is the general
policy file for South Vietnam’s finances.
