SUBJECT

23 April 1974 report on first-year Up-Country and Special Activities programs of the CIA in Cambodia

In the Cambodian WSAG on March 13, 1973,2 you directed CIA to improve the intelligence available to us and to our Cambodian friends within Cambodia. Concurrently the Agency stepped up its efforts politically to weaken the Cambodian Communists domestically and abroad. Mr. Colby has now forwarded an optimistic assessment of the program (Tab B).3

[Page 526]

1. The Up-Country Program.

[1 paragraph (9 ½ lines) not declassified]

2. Special Activities.

[2 ½ lines not declassified] Sihanouk may yet be pushed into some precipitous action by reports the Agency is aiming at him, describing him as a hapless tool of forces bent on destroying Cambodia as he knows it. The Agency is also coordinating with State to try to resist the challenge to GKR credentials at the upcoming 29th Session of the UNGA. The Agency believes its efforts (with those of State) helped to preserve the GKR seat at the 28th Session of UNGA although they could not prevent GRUNK from winning the Cambodian seat at the Non-Aligned Conference in Algiers.

Comment: The CIA operation in Cambodia has been to date imaginative, vigorous and highly professional and has considerable potential; however, the CIA report could lead one somewhat to exaggerate the overall impact of this operation. Mr. Colby, in his covering memorandum, to some extent balances the report’s enthusiastic claims by saying only that “meaningful progress has been made” and “a great deal remains to be done.” We agree, and concur in Mr. Colby’s instructions to his officers to pursue their objectives with all possible vigor.

Recommendation

That you sign the brief acknowledgment and expression of appreciation to Mr. Colby at Tab A.4

CHỦ ĐỀ

Báo cáo ngày 23 tháng 4 năm 1974 về các chương trình Up-Country và Hoạt động Đặc biệt năm đầu tiên của CIA tại Campuchia

Trong Hội nghị WSAG Campuchia ngày 13 tháng 3 năm 1973, ngài đã chỉ đạo CIA cải thiện thông tin tình báo sẵn có cho chúng tôi và các bạn Campuchia của chúng tôi tại Campuchia. Đồng thời, CIA đã tăng cường các nỗ lực chính trị nhằm làm suy yếu lực lượng Cộng sản Campuchia trong và ngoài nước. Ông Colby hiện đã chuyển tiếp một đánh giá lạc quan về chương trình (Bảng B). [Trang 526]

1. Chương trình Up-Country.

[1 đoạn (9 ½ dòng) chưa được giải mật]

2. Các hoạt động đặc biệt.

[2 ½ dòng chưa được giải mật]

Sihanouk có thể bị đẩy vào một số hành động vội vã bởi các báo cáo rằng Cơ quan này đang nhắm vào ông ta, mô tả ông ta là một công cụ bất lực của các thế lực quyết tâm phá hủy Campuchia như ông ta biết. Cơ quan này cũng đang phối hợp với Nhà nước để cố gắng chống lại việc thách thức tư cách thành viên của GKR tại Kỳ họp thứ 29 sắp tới của Đại hội đồng Liên hợp quốc. Cơ quan này tin rằng những nỗ lực của mình (cùng với Nhà nước) đã giúp giữ được ghế của GKR tại Kỳ họp thứ 28 của Đại hội đồng Liên hợp quốc, mặc dù họ không thể ngăn cản GRUNK giành được ghế của Campuchia tại Hội nghị Không liên kết ở Algiers.

Bình luận: Hoạt động của CIA tại Campuchia cho đến nay rất sáng tạo, mạnh mẽ và chuyên nghiệp, đồng thời có tiềm năng đáng kể; tuy nhiên, báo cáo của CIA có thể khiến người ta phần nào phóng đại tác động tổng thể của hoạt động này. Trong bản ghi nhớ bao quát, ông Colby đã cân bằng phần nào những tuyên bố đầy nhiệt huyết của báo cáo bằng cách chỉ nói rằng "đã đạt được những tiến bộ đáng kể" và "vẫn còn rất nhiều việc phải làm". Chúng tôi đồng ý hoàn toàn với chỉ thị của ông Colby cho các sĩ quan của mình theo đuổi mục tiêu của họ với tất cả sức mạnh có thể.

Khuyến nghị

Đề nghị ông ký vào bản ghi nhận ngắn gọn và bày tỏ lòng biết ơn tới ông Colby tại Bảng A.

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.)
