New Evidence On Military Deliveries
To Cambodia: December 1966 - April 1969
Introduction
For gome time the community has been carrying
on an all-out effort to obtain detailed documentary
intelligence on the Communists' logistic activities
carried out through Cambodia to support Viet Cong/
North Vietnamese Army operations in South Vietnam.
supplies detailed information on the historical
development of the enemy's logistical operations in
Cambodia.
Note: This memorandum was produced solely by CIA.
It was prepared by the Office of Economic Research
and was coordinated with other concerned offices of
the Directorate of Intelligence, the Directorate
of Plans and the Director's Special Assistant for
Vietnamese Affairs.

The Agency has also undertaken a major analytic
effort, complementary to its collection effort, to
screen, collate, evaluate and analyze the material
already obtained and the additional material which
is being submitted on a continuing basis from the
field. Evidence now in hand and already studied in-
cludes a bill of lading covering a military shipment
to Kompong Som (formerly Sihanoukville) on the
Chinese ship He Ping and eight transportation and
packing lists that,
represent deliveries on other Chinese ships.
Each transportation and packing list itemizes the
military supplies contained in the delivery. The
lists do not identify the ships, but each bears a
handwritten date that appears to be the date of
delivery.
This memorandum presents the findings of our
preliminary analysis of the new information now in
hand. As explained in detail below, the new evidence
processed to date indicates that Chinese Communist
deliveries to Cambodia of military supplies, food,
clothing, and medicine for VC/NVA forces totaled about
26,000 tons, of which about 22,000 tons were military
supplies, an amount far higher than previously esti-
mated. The documents now in hand indicate that these
deliveries were made between December 1966 and April
1969. Copies of these documents are being disseminated
separately.
Additional analysis of the impact of this new
information on estimates of the enemy's logistical
position in Cambodia and South Vietnam is continuing.
Subsequent memoranda and reports based on this re-
search will be issued as quickly as the wealth-of
new data can be validated, screened, and analyzed;
but in light of the volume of material involved,
this process will take an extended period of time.
In addition to the material already obtained, we have
recently gained access to a further set of sensitive
Cambodian records consisting of several thousand pages
of documents. These new data should shed light on at
least some presently unanswered questions, but readers

of this memorandum are cautioned that the additional
material -- which we in Washington have not yet
seen -- may conflict in some important respects with
the data presented herein.
In the aggregate, we believe the documents to
which the CIA has now gained access constitute a
virtually complete set of the Cambodians' records
on the supplies and materials furnished the Commu-
nists with the cooperation of the Cambodian Govern-
ment.

Ship Arrivals
1. In ship arrivals as in other areas, our
new evidence answers some questions but raises others.
For example, some of the dates on documents 25X1
oincide with, or are close
to, the dates when C 1nese ships previously considered
confirmed or probable arms carriers arrived at Kompong
Som, but other document dates are in apparent conflict
with shipping information derived from 25X1
The dates on six of the nine
shipping documents now in Washington coincide with or
are within four days of the arrival dates of previously
known or suspected Chinese arms carriers (see Table 1).*
The bills of lading for the He Ping, however, contain
a 27 January 1967 date, a month after this ship is
known to have arrived in Kompong Som. The date of
another document -- 23 August 1967 -- was four days
prior to the arrival of the Ji Ning, a probable Chinese
arms carrier. The date associated with another docu-
ment -- 28 March 1968 -- was ten days after the arrival
and two days after the departure of the confirmed arms
carrier Wu Xi.
2. No satisfactory explanation has been found for
these apparent discrepancies or incompatibilities in
dates. The bills of lading on the He Ping show that
it was loaded in Tsamkong, China, on 14 December 1966,
and the cargo represented by the bills of lading was
probably unloaded when the ship was in Kompong Som
during 23-28 December. In the case of both the He
Ping and the packing list dated 23 August 1967, the
dates- on the documents may represent something
other than the date of arrival of the ship or the
completion of unloading. The discrepancy of the
28 March 1968 document -- only two days -- is of less
moment but still puzzling.
Origin of the Cargoes
supplies for the VC/NVA forces were brought
in only on Chinese ships, the cargoes
came from both China and North Vietnam. Analysis
of the packing lists indicates that the bulk of the

arms and ammunition are Chinese types. There are
also small numbers of Soviet rockets, and the iden-
tification numbers on some items in the 1969 shipments
appear to be North Vietnamese. A notation on a
packing list dated 25 August 1968 indicates that
some of the explosives were of Romanian manufac-
ture.
4. Except for the December 1966 voyage of the
He Ping, the new documentation sheds no light on
where the cargoes were loaded. The bills of lading
on the He Ping show that the cargo was loaded in
Tsamkong (Fort Bayard), which has been the tradi-
tional port of loading for Chinese arms deliveries.
Shipping intelligence indicates that the other
shipments implied by the newly acquired documents
were also loaded in south China, probably at Tsam-
kong. There is no evidence that any of the nine
ships stopped at Haiphong en route to Kompong Som.
It is, therefore, likely that any North Vietnamese
materiel had been shipped from Haiphong to the port
of loading in China.
Volume of Deliveries
5. The documents we have processed to date in-
dicate that the total tonnage of supplies for VC/NVA
forces which apparently entered Kompong Som on nine
Chinese Communist ships during the 29-month period
December 1966 to April 1969 was about 26,000 metric
tons. Military supplies comprised about 22,000 tons
of the cargo.* On the first four ships (December
1966 - August 1967) military supplies represented 98%
of the total tonnage carried. Non-military supplies
accounted for about one-fifth of the tonnage de-
livered thereafter. The total of 26,000 tons con-
sisted of the following major categories.**
an average of about 10%
of the ordnance delivered on these shipments was ear-
marked for the Cambodian military forces. It is
possible that more complete documentation may show
that the Cambodian cut was covered by separate packing
lists.
** A complete breakout by shipment is given in
Table 2.

Organization
10. Recent reporting and newly acquired evidence
also provides detailed information on the organiza-
tion of the Cambodian support operation. Earlier
reporting had provided a picture of the general
framework of the Cambodian/Communist logistical ap-
paratus in Cambodia but had given little hint of
the extent of Cambodian involvement and the relative,
sophistication of the operation. The new reporting,
for example, describes the existence of Cambodian
Provincial Committees which facilitated the flow
from Cambodian depots to Communist border caches; it
also notes the detailed accounting procedures used to
verify deliveries to the Communists.
also implicated as involved in this traffic a
number of high Cambodian officials whose detailed in-
volvement was hitherto unknown or unproved.
11. Still, some details concerning the traffic
remain unclear. A full analysis of the arms traffic
requires more information on the timing, quantities,
Approved For Release 2007/ IRDP78T02095R000200040001-3
and final border destinations of deliveries from
Cambodian depots to VC/NVA forces. Preliminary
field summaries indicate that at least some of
these needed details are contained in additional
documents now being dispatched to Washington.
12. In addition to the recently received data
on military shipments into Kompong Som, new informa-
tion also has become available
on enemy su 1 movements south out o Laos
odia.
13. I Iordnance was moved
west on Route 110 in southern Laos to Koh Russey
and then south by boat on the Tonle Kong to Stung
Treng, where it was loaded onto trucks and delivered
to Communist forces deployed along the Cambodian
border opposite II and III Corps. The ordnance
reportedly consisted of 107-mm and 122-mm rockets no launchers were included.
107s and 122s came into Stung Treng from Laos
once a year in 1966, 1967, and 1968, and estimated
that the shipments totaled between 1,000 and 1,200
tons. In comparison, the shipments to Kompong Som
included a total of about 450 tons of large rockets,
of which about 380 tons were 107-mm rockets.
Additional data on overland movements of Communist
supplies through Cambodia from southern Laos may be
contained in the material now en route to Washington.
This aspect of the Communists' supply operation will
be reviewed in greater detail after all the evidence
has been examined.

5 September 1970
SUBJECT: Distribution of ER IM 70-126, September 1970, New
Evidence on Military Deliveries to Cambodia:
December' 1966 - April`1969
1. We are all aware of the problems and ramifications of this
memorandum which bear on decisions regarding the manner and timing
of its distribution. One other relevant consideration is the fact that
this memorandum is, in effect, a revision or "memo to holders" of
ER IM 69- 177, December 1969, Chinese and Soviet Military Deliverie:.
to Cambodia. Hence, recipients of the December memo should get
the new memo as well. (As a practical matter, they will get the new
one anyway, even if we restrict the latter's circulation to a handful
of senior officers. Hence, from the standpoint of political cosmetics,
it would be better for such distribution to come directly from the Agency.)
Given the above, we recommend the following scenario.
2. Top Level Distribution.
a".' Kissinger. You should personally hand Kissinger
his copy on Tuesday, 8 September. Because you will
be there, the buckslip can be short.
b' Rogers/Alexis Johnson/Cline. For several reasons,
Cline should give Rogers and Alexis Johnson their copies.
This can be achieved by sending Cline three copies with
a note from you requesting him to deliver one of them to
the Secretary and one to Alexis Johnson.

cl Laird. I can hand deliver Laird's copy at my
session already scheduled for 1100 Tuesday, 8 September.
Same buckslip text as Kissinger's, for similar reasons.
e: Moorer should receive a personal copy transmitted
on Tuesday, 8 September, by a personal note from you.
Hand delivery is not necessary and would be too much of
a good thing.
e~. Bennett should be hand delivered his copy -- with
an accompaning note from you -- by either R.J. Smith or
John Bross accompanied by Paul Walsh, who can defuse
his irritation and answer any immediate questions.
Bennett should be getting his copy at about the time
Kissinger and Laird are getting theirs. We want all
three to hear about this memo first from us, not from
each other (in any permutation).
$/. Gayler. Since the other USIB principals are
getting personal copies, Gayler should get one too. This
can be done on 8 September via a short buckslip (Kissinger/
Laird text will suffice).
J. Admiral Anderson. The fact that you are having
lunch with Anderson on 8 September is fortuitous. He can
simply be handed a copy informally at lunch and told that
we will be happy to brief him and/or the PFIAB in further
detail if he so desires. No note required.
a. I can send copies to the following, timed to go out
Tuesday afternoon:
2. William Sullivan, with info copies to the
other members of the NSC Vietnam Committee.
3. Assistant Secretary of Defense/SA Gardiner
Tucker, with whom we have dealt on the logistics
data collection problems.

4. Wayne Smith (Larry Lynn's successor).
b. John Bross, for form and politics sake, should
send a courtesy copy to Froehlke. On Tuesday afternoon.
c. R.J. Smith should send personal copies on Tuesday
afternoon to the following:
1. General Chapman
2. General '~'-~-- _ wn
3. Admiral Harlfinger
4. General Triantafellu
5. General McChristian
4. Working Level Distribution.
The working level distribution of the December memorandum is
as follows:
State 5
DIA 14
Air Force 16
Army 13
NSA 7
Navy 1
NSC 1
NIC 1
We should make similar distribution of the new memo via normal channels
on Wednesday morning, 9 September.
five copies
to be personally delivered to COMUSMACV and CINCPAC. In making the
deliveries, emphasis should be laid on the preliminary nature of the
document and its sensitivity,
therein.
