NGUYEN VAN THIEU NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SPEECH
 S THEI=NoiObjection to Declassification in Full 2010/08/06_ LOC-HAK-248-1-21-2
THE COIIMUNISTS DEMANDED THAT THE UNITED STATES: WITHDRAW
FULLY FROM' SOUTH VIETNAM--FROM TROOPS AND= EQUIPMENT TO
MILITARY BASES--END ITS MILITARY ROLE AND ABANDON ITS
VIETNAMIZATIOV POLICY AND PROGRAM. HOWEVER, THE
COMMUNISTS, DID NOT SAY WHAT THEY WOULD DO BY WAY OF AN
.APPROPRIATE RESPONSE. NOR DID THEY SAY THAT THEY WOULD
WITHDRAW THE NORTHERN COMMUNIST TROOPS FROM THE SOUTH OR.
STOP RECEIVING MILITARY AID FROM COMMUNIST IMPERIALISM.
IN THE POLITICAL FIELD THE. COMMUNISTS DEMANDED THAT A.
TYPE OF "SUPER GOVERNMENTCALLED NATIONAL CONCORD
GOVERNMENT WITH THREE EQUAL SEGMENTS, BE SET! UP FROM THE
CENTRAL LEVEL TO THE PROVINCIAL, MUNICIPAL, DISTRICT,
VILLAGE AND HAMLET LEVELS, TO CONTROL THE TWO EXISTING
GOVERNMENTS-ORS AND THE SO-CALLED PRGRSV-'-AID TO
ORGANIZE GENERAL ELECTIONS, DRAFT A NEW CONSTITUTION AND
ESTABLISH ENTIRELY NEW INSTITUTIONS (COW CHEES), THUS
ABOLISHING OUR PRESENT CONSTITUTION AS WELL AS CONSTITUTIONAL
AND LEGAL INSTITUTIONS<
IN SHORT, TO THE COMMUNISTS' 11 SEPTEMBER SOLUTION WE
SEE CLEARLY THAT THEY HAVE UNDEVIATINGLY REASONED, IN THEIR
OWN DECEITFUL WAY, THATt
1-THE UNITED STATES HAS-BEEN THE AGGRESSOR IN THE
SOUTH AS WELL AS IN THE NORTH. IT MUST THEREFORE BEAR
THE. FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND ALL THE CONSEQUENCES.AS AN
AGGRESSOR. AS FOR COMMUNIST. NORTH VIETNAM, IT HAS BEEN A
LIBERATOR., WHICH AUTOMATICALLY GIVES IT THE RIGHT TO SEND
NORTH VIETNAMESE TROOPS TO THE SOUTH AND TO DECIDE ON
ANY POLITICAL SETTLEMENT IN THE SOUTH UNDER THE PRINCIPLE
THAT VIETNAM MUST BE ONE AND BELONGS TO COMMUNIST NORTH
VIETNAM. No Objection to Declassification in Full 2010/08/06: LOC-HAK-248-1-21-2

AID TO EVEN THE
JAItt1AMIZATION POLICY, THELI TARP r _
-
PRESENT. REGIME-HAS BEEN PRODUCED BY THE UNITED STATES.
THEREFORE, THE UNITED STATES MUST REMOVE ALL THAT UPON LEAVING
HERE AND RELINQUISH TO COMMUNIST NORTH VIETNAM THE POWER TO
SETTLE AND REORGANIZE EVERYTHING IN ITS OWN WAY.
FACED WITH THE COMMUNISTS' DISHONEST SCHEME REVEALED IN
THEIR 11 SEPTEMBER SOLUTION, ON THE EVENING OF' 24 OCTOBER
I REAFFIRMED OUR BOVERNMENT'.S AND PEOPLE'S POSITION. (II WANT)
THAT ANY SERIOUS SOLUTION FOR THE SOUTH BE BASED ON THESE
MAIN POINTS t
FIRST, THE BASIC PROVISION OF THE 1954 GENEVA. AGREEMENT
ON THE CLEAR' DEMARCATION BETWEEN THE SOUTH AND THE NORTH,
. INCLUDING RECOGNITION OF ? THE DMZ ACROSS THE 17TH PARALLEL,
MUST BE CONFIRMED AND RESPECTED. BOTH PARTS MUST RESPECT
EACH OTHER IN ALL RESPECTS, FROM TERRITORY TO SOVEREIGNTY
AND FROM MILITARY TO POLITICAL MATTERS. THAT IS TO SAY THAT.
ONE' PART MUST NOT LAUNCH ARMED OR POLITICAL AGGRESSION AGAINST
THE OTHER, OR INTERFERE IN THE OTHER'S INTERNAL AFFAIRS
TO DISRUPT THEM.
SECOND, ALL NORTH VIETNAMESE TROOPS MUST BE WITHDRAWN TO
THE NORTH BECAUSE THEY ARE AGGRESSOR TROOPS COMING FROM
OUTSIDE. IT IS UNREASONABLE THAT ONLY U.S. AND OTHER
ALLIED TROOPS WHO CAME LATER TO AID USA AT OUR REQUEST, SHOULD
HAVE TO WITHDRAW FROM SOUTH VIETNAM FIRST WHILE NORTH
VIETNAMESE TROOPS, WHO ARE BOTH FOREIGN AND AGGRESSOR TROOPS,
SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN.

THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE NORTH VIETNAMESE ADMINISTRATION
TO DECIDE OR TAKE PART IN THE NEGOTIATIONS ON THE INTERNAL

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN", FOLLOWING MY TALK WITH OUR
COMPATRIOTS ON THE EVENING OF. ;24 OCTOBER, ON. 26 OCTOBER THE
COMMUNISTS MADE PUBLIC A SUM1 ARY OF THE SO-CALLED TEXT
OF THE AGREEMENT WHICH ' THEY CONSIDERED TO BE COMPLETED
AND APPROVED, IN WHICH THEY LISTED NINE FUNDAMENTAL POINTS.
ANALYZING WHAT-THE COMMUNISTS HAVE SAID IN THE SO-CALLED
TEXT OF THE AGREEMENT AND THE NINE FUNDAMENTAL POINTS,
WE STILL SEE THAT THE COMMUNISTS DEMAND THAT THE UNITED
STATES AND ONLY THE UNITED STATES RESPECT THE INDEPENDENCE,
SOVEREIGNTY, UNIFICATION AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF
VIETNAM. THE UNITED STATES MUST END ALL ITS MILITARY
ACTIVITIES AND THE BOMBINGS AND MINING OF THE NORTH AND WITHDRAW
ALL U.S. AND ALLIED TROOPS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL FROM THE SOUTH

THE COMMUNISTS' STILL A GENERAL ELECTION AND THE ESTABLISHMENT .
OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE (COW CAAUS CHINKS QUYEENB )
CALLED THE NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR NATIONAL RECONCILIATION AND
CONCORD (MGIJ DQOONGF Qt10OCS AIA HOAF CIAIR VAF HOAF HOWPJ

MISSION OF THIS COUNCIL IS TO SUPERVISE THE PRGRSV AND
THE RVN GOVERNMENT IN IMPLEMENTING THE AGREEMENTS AND
ORGANIZING THE GENERAL ELECTION. .80TH SIDES IN SOUTH VIETNAM
WILL NEGOTIATE WITH EACH OTHER ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
LOW-LEVEL COUNCILS (HOOIJ DQOONGF CAAPS 'DUVOWIS). THE
PROBLEM CONCERNING THE VIETNAMESE ARMED FORCES IN SOUTH
VIETNAM WILL BE SOLVED BY BOTH SIDES I N THE SOUTH.
ALSO-INCLUDED IN THE PROBLEMS TO BE DISCUSSED BY BOTH
SIDES IN SOUTH VIETNAM IS THE PROBLEM CONCERNING MEASURES TO
DECREASE AND DEMOBILIZE THE STRENGTH OF BOTH SIDES'
ARMED FORCES. BOTH SIDES IN SOUTH VIETNAM WILL SIGN AN,
AGREEMENT ON THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF THE SOUTH, AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE, AND WILL TRY THEIR BEST TO. CARRY THIS OUT WITHIN.;
3 MONTHS AFTER THE CEASE-FIRE GOES INTO EFFECT.
THE COMMUNISTS ALSO CLAIM THAT THERE ARE ONLY THREE
INDOCHINESE COUNTRIES, WHEN DEALING WITH. PROBLEMS CONCERNING
CAMBODIA AND, LAOS AND THAT THE. UNITED STATES WILL CONTRIBUTE
TO HEALING THE WAR WOUNDS AND BUILDING THE DRV AND THE
WHOLE OF INDOCHINA AFTER THE " WAR ENDS.

XXX THE WAR ENDS:.
(TEXT) IN SUM, ALL OF THE POINTS SET FORTH IN THE ANNOUNCED
AGREEMENT ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THE
PEACE SOLUTION PROPOSED BY THE COMMUNISTS ON 11 SEPTEMBER.
I WOULD LIKE TO INSERT MY VIEWS ON THE IMPORTANT
KEY POINTS WHICH` THE CO NISTS STILL MAINTAIN IN THEIR
OLD - STAND. THEY DEMAND THAT THE UNITED STATES RESPECT THE .
INDEPENDENCE AND TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY OF VIETNAM., HINTING
THAT THIS VIETNAM, STRETCHING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH, I'S ONE-,
AND BELONGS TO NORTH VIETNAM, THE UNITED STATES WILL DISCONTINUE
ITS MILITARY INVOLVE.- NTo MEANING THAT IT WILL NEITHER INTERVENE
IN NOR GRANT ANY FORA OF AID TO THE SOUTH.
REGARDING AN INTERNAL POLITICAL SOLUTION? THE COMMUNISTS
STILL MAINTAIN THE ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE CALLED THE
NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NATIONAL RECONCILIATION AND CONCORD.
THE WORD "NATIONAL" APPEARS JUST BEFORE "COUNCIL," MEANING THAT
THIS COUNCIL HOST BE AT THE TOP LEVEL SO THAT IT CAN
EXERT ITS INFLUENCE OVER THE TWO EXISTING GOVERNMENTS IN THE
SOUTH. THIS COUNCIL, HAVING THREE EQUAL SEGMENTS WITH THE
SAME NUlVB`ER OF PERSONNEL, WILL.SUPERVISE THE TWO EXISTING
GOVERNMENTS AND ORGANIZE A GENER. AL . ELECTION. THIS MEANS THAT
A . NEW CONSTITUTIONAL NATIONAL ASSEMBLY WILL BE. ELECTED AND
THERE WILL BE A NEW CONSTITUTION AND A NEW :SYSTEM CCOW CHEES )
DETERMINED BY THE NEW CONSTITUTION.
THE COMMUNISTS ALSO STATED THAT THE TWO SIDES IN THE
SOUTH WOULD .DISCUSS (HIEEPJ T)$UWOWNG) THE FORMATION OF COUNCILS
AT A LOWER.. LEVEL p FROM THE CENTRAL TO THE VILLAGE AND HAMLET
LEVELS. THE COMMUNISTS RESORTED TO A VERY CRAFTY USE OF
TERMS WHEN THEY STATED THAT THE PROBLEM CONCERNING THE
VIETNAMESE ARMED FORCES IN THE SOUTH WOULD BE SETTLED BY THE
TWO SIDES IN THE SOUTH. THIS. MEANS THAT THEY WANT NORTH VIETNAMESE
.FORCES TO BE CONSIDERED AS FORCES OF THE.LIBERATION. FRONT.

YI!H THE LIBERATION FRONT, WIYILE THE NORTH VIETNAMESE FORCES
WILL BE CONSIDERED AS NATURALLY BELONGING TO THE LIBERATION
FRONT AND ITS GOVERNMENT. THUS, IN THEIR 11 SEPTEMBER SOLUTION
THE COMMUNISTS CONSIDER THAT THE POLITICAL REALITY IN THE SOUTH
INVOLVES TWO GOVERNMENTS AND TWO ARMIES, WITH SOME HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF NORTH VIETNAMESE: TROOPS BEING CONSIDERED
AS SOUTHERN LIBERATION TROOPS.
AFTER THE COMMUNISTS ANNOUNCED THE AGREEMENT, WE SAW THAT
THEY STILL MAINTAINED THEIR ILLOGICAL CONDITIONS... THE TWO
MOST FUNDAMENTAL CONDITIONS CONCERNING THE. SURVIVAL OF THE
SOUTH ARE s FIRST, THE FORMATION OF A DISGUISED COALITION
GOVERNMENT THROUGH AN ILLOGICAL FORMULA OF THREE EQUAL
SEGMENTS--FROM THE SUPERSTRUCTURE TO THE VILLAGE AND HAMLET
LEVELS--TO ORGANIZE A GENERAL ELECTION;. AND SECOND, THE NORTH
VIETNAMESE FORCES' FAILURE TO WITHDRAW TO THE NORTH.
WITH REGARD ' TO. THESE POINTS, I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT TO
THE CONGRESS ON THE RVN GOVERNMENT'S PROPOSALS AND VIEWPOINTS.
REGARDING THE-PROBLEM OF THE WITHDRAWAL OF NORTH
VIETNAMESE 'TROOPS TO THE NORTH, WE HAVE PROPOSED THAT ALL
NORTH, VIETNAMESE TROOPS In THE SOUTH MUST WITHDRAW TO THE NORTH.
AT THE SAME TIME OTHER FOREIGN FORCES ARE WITHDRAWN. AFTERWARD,
THE RVN GOVERNMENT WILL :ACCEPT THE SAME REDUCTION OF NUMERICAL
STRENGTH OF THE ARVN TO SHOW ITS PEACEFUL GOOD WILL
CONSIDERING THAT THE REQUIREMENTS OF WAR NO LONGER EXISTS.
HOWEVER, NORTH VIETNAM HAS REJECTED THIS PROPOSAL.

(TEXT) CONCERNING THE INTERNAL POLITICAL PROBLEMS OF SOUTH
VIETNAM, LET ME TELL YOU OF OUR OLD AND NEW PROPOSALS.
WE HAVE PROPOSED THIS FORMULA: TO DECIDE THE COMPOSITION OF
THE NATIONAL RECONCILIATION AND NATIONAL CONCORD COMMITTEE
(UYR BAN) WHICH WILL BE IN CHARGE OF ORGANIZING THE ELECTIONS
OF THE NEW PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC, AND
TO MAXE EVERYONE REALIZE THE PERCENTAGE OF THE SOUTH
VIETNAMESE PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THE COMMUNISTS AND THE
PERCENTAGE OF THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE NATIONAL CAUSE t WE HAVE
PROPOSED THAT A POPULAR REFERENDUM DE ORGANIZED AND SUPERVISED
BY THE UNITED NATIONS. WE WILL RELY ON THE RESULTS OF THIS
POPULAR REFERENDUM TO DECIDE THE PERCENTAGE OF THE
COMPOSITION OF THE COMMITTED (UYR VAN) IN CHARGE OF ORGANIZING
THE ELECTIONS OF THE NEW PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT OF
THE REPUBLIC.
AFTER THE ELECTION, THE MEW PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC WILL
FORM A SO-CALLED NATIONAL COALITION GOVERNMENT, THE
MEMBERS OF WHICH WILL BE .DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF
VOTES GAINED BY THE CANDIDATES TO THE PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTIONS? THUS THE MAN WHO OBTAINS THE LARGEST NUMBER OF
POPULAR VOES WILL BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC AND WILL
RUM THE GOVERNMENT. THEN, THE POLITICAL PARTIES AND POPULAR
ORGANIZATIONS WILL SEND THEIR MEN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
GOVERNMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PERCENTAGE OF VOTES
OBTAINED BY THEIR PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
AFTER THAT, WE PROPOSE THAT THIS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
(UYR BAN COOS VAANS), THE NATIONAL RECONCILIATION COMMITTEE,
WHICH INCLUDES THE NFLSV AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF ALL
POLITICAL PARTIES OF SOUTH VIETNAM, WILL SIT DOWN TO
DISCUSS (THAN 110HLJ CHO) THE NEW GOVERNMENT AND REEXAMINE

 WILL SUBM' No Object on to Declassification in Full 010/08/06: LOC-HAK-248-1-21-2
STS HAVE REJECTED THI'ORMULA.
COMC!RNING.THE COMPOSITION OF THE NATIONAL. RECONCILIATION
COUNCIL (HOOIJ DQOONGF), I HAVE PROPOSED THAT THIS COUNCIL
NOT"INCLUDE THREE EQUAL SEGMENTS AND THAT THE INTERNAL PROBLEMS
OF SOUTH VIETNAM' BE SOLVED BY THE TWO OPPOSITE SIDES;
THAT IS9 THE RVN GOVERNMENT AND THE NFLSV. ONLY THE
TWO OPPOSITE SIDES WILL SEND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES TO .FORM
THIS COUNCIL TO SOLVE THE INTERNAL POLITICAL PROBLEMS OF
SOUTH VIETNAM. ALTHOUGH EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE NFLSV DOES
NOT HAVE A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF SUPPORT AMONG THE _MASSES,
I ALSO ACCEPT THAT THE TWO SIDES WILL HAVE AN EQUAL NUMBER
OF REPRESENTATIVES IN THIS COUNCIL. I THUS WANT TO SHOW
OUR UTMOST GOODWILL AND NATIONAL RECONCILIATION SPIRIT;
BUT THE COMMUNISTS HAVE ALSO REJECTED THIS IDEA.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WHAT OUR PEOPLE, NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
AND GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO TODAY IS TELL THE PEOPLE,. NATIONAL
ASSEMBLIES AND GOVERNMENTS OF THE ALLIED COUNTRIES AND
INFORM WORLD PUBLIC OPINION THAT NO ONE SHOULD FORGET THE
COMMUNISTS' POLICY (CHUR TRUVOWN6) IN SOUTH VIETNAM AND $0
ONE SHOULD ERRONEOUSLY THINK THAT THE COMMUNISTS WILL G I VE
UP THEIR POLICY. THE COMMUNISTS' POLICY IS TO TAKE OVER THE
SOUTH BY FORCE AND TO IMPOSE A. COMMUNIST ADMINISTRATION,
OR AN ADMINISTRATION OF THEIR PUPPETS, ON THE 17.5 MILLION SOUTH
VIETNAMESE PEOPLE DURING THIS FIRST PHASE.
AFTER THAT THEY WILL TAKE UP THE NATIONAL UNIFICATION
BANNER, TO HAVE ONLY ONE VIETNAM AND HAVE 38 MILLION PEOPLE
GOVERNED BY ONLY ONE ADMINISTRATION. THAT ADMINISTRATION
BE THE HANOI COMMUNIST ADMINISTRATION. THE COMMUNISTS
HAVE PURSUED THIS POLICY THROUGH BRAZEN ARMED. AGGRESSION
FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS. AND NOW9 REALIZING THEY CANNOT
THUS ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, THEY RESORT TO A FALSE PEACE
SOLUTION THROUGH AN AGRUM!1ENT WHICH THEY ARE NOW STRUGGLING.
