Abstract:
Coup Rumors in Saigon [planning for an imminent coup has been reported; the reports seem to be
speculative and lacking in detail; three
marine platoons have been transferred to
Saigon; the rumors reflect the restiveness
and suspicions of the armed forces and
civilians and the contest for power opened by
Gen. Khanh's departure; the struggle appears
to be between the older elements and the
"Young Turks"]. Office of Current
Intelligence Memorandum, OCI No. 0778/65.
