141. Memorandum From Rob Roy Ratliff of the National Security Council Staff to Secretary of State Kissinger1

Washington, August 27, 1974.

SUBJECT

  • Covert Psychological Warfare in Southeast Asia

CIA’s covert psychological warfare effort against Communist forces in Southeast Asia has expanded since the last 40 Committee review (see Tab A).2 Three Vietnamese-language and two Cambodian-language clandestine radio broadcasting facilities are used now, a recently acquired 10 KW mediumwave transmitting facility beamed at Cambodia opens in early September, and a 50 KW mediumwave transmitter near Hue may be acquired from USIA.

Programs broadcast on these facilities attack the morale and combat effectiveness of Communist troops, encourage anti-war sentiment among civilians in Communist areas, and exacerbate tensions and generate frictions. Are they successful? Refugee and rallier reports, continued Communist denouncements and warnings not to listen to the clandestine stations, and direct attacks on specific programs or stations are cited as evidence that the Communists are concerned about the impact on the target audience.

Clandestine radio is the only means of reaching the target audience on a sustained basis, and while there will always be charges of U.S. involvement, the fact that the Government of the Republic of Vietnam contributes to, supports and is involved in the effort lessens the potential impact of such charges.

This operation is budgeted for [dollar amount not declassified] for FY 1975 ([dollar amount not declassified] more than last year). It is coordinated with Ambassador Martin, who approves, as do the State, Defense, JCS and CIA 40 Committee principals.

Recommendation

That you approve the continuation of this clandestine radio broadcasting operation.

Washington, ngày 27 tháng 8 năm 1974.

CHỦ ĐỀ

Chiến tranh tâm lý bí mật ở Đông Nam Á

Nỗ lực chiến tranh tâm lý bí mật của CIA chống lại các lực lượng Cộng sản ở Đông Nam Á đã mở rộng kể từ lần đánh giá gần đây nhất của Ủy ban (xem Bảng A). Hiện có ba cơ sở phát thanh bí mật bằng tiếng Việt và hai cơ sở phát thanh bí mật bằng tiếng Campuchia đang được sử dụng, một cơ sở phát sóng trung tần 10 KW mới được mua gần đây đã được đưa vào hoạt động tại Campuchia vào đầu tháng 9, và một máy phát sóng trung tần 50 KW gần Huế có thể sẽ được mua từ USIA.

Các chương trình phát sóng trên các cơ sở này tấn công vào tinh thần và hiệu quả chiến đấu của quân đội Cộng sản, kích động tâm lý phản chiến trong dân thường tại các khu vực Cộng sản, đồng thời làm gia tăng căng thẳng và tạo ra xung đột. Liệu chúng có thành công? Các báo cáo về người tị nạn và người biểu tình, những lời tố cáo và cảnh báo liên tục của Cộng sản về việc không nghe các đài phát thanh bí mật, cùng với các cuộc tấn công trực tiếp vào các chương trình hoặc đài phát thanh cụ thể được coi là bằng chứng cho thấy Cộng sản lo ngại về tác động đối với đối tượng mục tiêu.

Đài phát thanh bí mật là phương tiện duy nhất để tiếp cận đối tượng mục tiêu một cách bền vững, và mặc dù luôn có những cáo buộc về sự can thiệp của Hoa Kỳ, nhưng việc Chính phủ Việt Nam Cộng hòa đóng góp, hỗ trợ và tham gia vào nỗ lực này đã làm giảm bớt tác động tiềm tàng của những cáo buộc đó.

Hoạt động này được dự trù kinh phí [số tiền chưa được giải mật] cho năm tài chính 1975 ([số tiền chưa được giải mật] nhiều hơn năm ngoái). Hoạt động này được điều phối bởi Đại sứ Martin, người phê duyệt các nguyên tắc của Ủy ban Ngoại giao, Quốc phòng, Tham mưu trưởng Liên quân và CIA 40.

Khuyến nghị

Ngài chấp thuận việc tiếp tục hoạt động phát thanh bí mật này.

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.)
