ARVN forces in the south are west of Kam,pot, but have appar-
ently not taken the town itself (it is 35 km. from the border).
Other operations reported limited contact with the enemy, the
most important (reported underway yesterday) resulting in
fifteen enemy KIA, 15 tons of ammunition and 15 tons of rice
discovered.
-- In Operation Cuu Long I, a cumulative total of 19, 750 refugees
have been evacuated to SVN.
In the Parrot's Beak, ARVN forces are partly on a mainten-
ance stand-down but are keeping Route 1 open and conducting
local sweeps.
-- In the Fishhook and Base Area 351, U. S, forces have uncovered
two caches of rice totalling 85 tons.

Military and Economic Assistance
-- As of May 17, 475, 584 pounds of cargo had been airlifted
to Phnom Penh, including
80, 413 pounds of resupply for 1787 Khmer Krom
troops. (180, 272 pounds including initial supply. )
6018 AK-47s with 347, 050 rounds of ammunition.
15, OZ5 M-2 carbines with 1, 900, 800 rounds of
ammunition.
52, 697 pounds of uniforms and 216, 000 rounds of carbine
ammunition were delivered May 18/19.
--. Cambodian aid requests. DAO is relaying Cambodian
requests for 2400 bombs, napalm tanks and rockets, plus
50 caliber ammunition, rocket launchers, and spare parts
for T-28s. Only five T--28s are presently operable. Aside
from these "official" requests, General Pok has asked for
1000 rifles for personnel who are to be moved into the delta
following ARVN sweeps, and for 2000 more Khmer Krom.
-- During and after the Djakarta Conference, Yem Sambaur
continued to press the participants for military aid, including
troops. Thanat was cool as to any material assistance, and
said-"we cannot possibly send combat troops. " GVN Foreign
Minister Lam said the GVN would "try to respond. " Choi
said the ROK would consider aid for Cambodia. Aichi has
indicated that some humanitarian assistance will be forth-
coming, part of it at least for Vietnamese refugees from
Cambodia.
We understand the GVN military mission to Phnom Penh will
be headed by a Colonel Loi, currently head of the GVN rnili-
tary delegation to the Paris Peace Talks. Loi will also serve
as Vice-President Ky' s personal representative to Lon Nol.

One ship of the "Mekong flotilla" sent by the GVN to take
out refugees has stayed in Phnom Penh and is to act as
-communications channel for Cambodia/GVN liaison.
-- Rives has reported (Phnom Penh 938) that, with the growth
of direct FANK/ARVN contacts, we must address the ques-
tion as to how much of a role the U. S. plays in vetting and
supervising the arms deliveries to Cambodia. He also notes
that there is widespread distrust of the GVN except among
the very top leaders, and that this can be allayed if the USG
is seen to be exercising some control. By implication, he
suggests that he may need more staff.
Diplomatic and International
Assessments of Djakarta Conference. From Djakarta, Can-
berra and Wellington, the reaction has been favorable to the
ability of the participants to work together for a consensus,
to Australian/New Zealand acceptance into the "Asian Club",
and to the re-emergence of Japan in an important Asian poli-
tical role. Our Djakarta Embassy expects Indonesian and
Japanese prestige to rise in. the area, and that India's star
will wane further as a result of its non-participation. Thanat
expressed disappointment at the lack of practical action, but
was pleased at the joint effort. The Cambodian observer
(Yem Sambaur) expressed gratitude for the moral support.
ROK/Cambodia relations. At Djakarta, the ROK and Cambodian
Foreign Ministers signed a joint statement to open "permanent
missions" immediately, with an exchange of Ambassadors to
follow at "an early date. " (The two-stage formula on recogni-
tion apparently reflects continuing ROK fears that Cambodia 25X1
has not broken formally with North Korea. )
The Cambodian National Assembly May 9 passed a resolution
expressing sincere gratitude for your "just and courageous

decision. " It appealed to the American nation, Congress
and youth to support you. .
Cambodian Sim Var, in Japan since May 6 to solicit aid,
is quoted in the May 19 Tokyo press as expressing the
personal view that U. S. troops will remain in Cambodia
past June 30, and that he would welcome the prolongation.
He did at least make the point that Cambodia did not expect
extensive military and economic aid from us.
-- Our Embassy staff in Phnom Penh on Monday totalled Z5
employees (including 10 on TDY and 2 construction super-
visors), plus 7 dependents.
-.Sihanouk has previously stated that three of his Ministers
are in the "liberated zone" in Cambodia. NCNA on Monday
published two intriguing letters from the trio to Sihanouk and
Penn Nouth. The Ministers mentioned that they had been
empowered by Sihanouk "to manage all affairs of the country
in the name of our Government", and that "the people' of the
liberated areas have elected committees of the FUNK and
organs of power at different levels. " They appear to be re-
minding Sihanouk, almost contemptuously, that they are
creating the new system in Cambodia while he languishes
willingly or otherwise in Peking. (These three are the, identi-
fied hard-core pro-Communists who fled Cambodia in 1967.
To further confuse the situation, - Phnom Penh has unearthed
a Radio Peking report of 1967 that Sihanouk had killed the three,
and is making the apocryphal claim that they are now simply a
VC/NVA fiction. )
Sihanouk's Prime Minister Penn Nouth told AFP that Ambassa-
dors to Peking and Pyongyang have been announced, with others
to follow shortly. He claimed three-fourths of Camb odia
already "liberated", and made the observation -- interesting
though hardly authoritative -- that Phnom Penh "would have
fallen two weeks ago had it not been for massive intervention
.by the Americans. " He spoke of the possibility of a trip abroad
by Sihanouk.

State, is exploring a statement allegedly made May 7 by the
Polish Foreign Minister, that Poland would not oppose an
international conference on Indochina if a majority of states
favored it.
- Large numbers of French dependents are leaving Phnom. Penh
on "early leave.
-- Kompong Som port activity is higher than previously thought,
suggesting a greater continuing level of export activity than
had been assumed, and 'some possibility that congestion of
the Phnom Penh-Kompong Som road may be a problem. On
Monday, five ships were reported in port with ten waiting in
the roads. Four ships departed over the weekend, with two
entering. Our naval surveillance has not reported significant
vessel activity elsewhere.
Press Policy
The Cambodian Information Ministry has put out a new maga-
zine, Cambodge Nouveau, to replace Sihanouk's old magazines.
The first issue paints a grim picture of Cambodia's problems
but goes on to describe that the enemy has problems, too.
Defense notes that major attention was given to Cambodia in the
50 major Armed Forces Day speeches given by DOD officials.
It observes that the most difficult public affairs problems in
coming weeks will. be the level of U. S. casualties, the disposal
of caches discovered, and the rate of withdrawal of U. S.
personnel from Cambodia.

MEMORANDUM FOR MR. HENRY A. KISSINGER
THE WHITE HOUSE
Subject: Daily Report on Cambodia No. 24
Military and Economic Assistance
1. No Indonesian Military Aid Commitment Yet. As of May 18
there was no known commitment by Indonesia to provide military
support to Cambodia. Embassy. Phnom Penh feels this may. change
in the period after the Djakarta conference.
2. Cambodia Request for Air Force Ammunition. DAO has
forwarded a Cambodian request for 800, 250 lb. bombs, 400 napalm
tanks, 1200 rockets, 180, 000 rounds of 50 caliber. machine gun
ammunition, 16 multiple rocket launchers, 60 rocket tube clusters,
and 32 350 round canisters for 50 caliber machine guns. He recom-
mends delivery of one quarter of the total now and the rest at 5-day
intervals.
3. T-28 Spare Parts Lists. DAO is forwarding to CINCPAC
lists of T-28 spare parts required. Only five Cambodian T--28's are
currently available for service.
4. Cambodians Request 1000 Individual Weagons. General Pak.
Sam An has asked AIRA and MACV representatives for 1000 individual
weapons for military and law enforcement personnel who will move
into the delta border area following completion of ARVN operations
there.
5. Cambodians Want More Khmer Krom. Pok Sam An also
asked for the arrival as soon as possible of 2000 additional Khmer
Krom said to be forming in South Vietnam for duty in Cambodia.
6. Possible Japanese Aid. Tapanese press reports Sim Var
said the Tapanese had made no commitment for economic aid, but he
thought they would provide Cambodia "with some materials such as
trucks, medicines, jungle shoes and raincoats.

7. Possible Thai Aid. Bangkok Post May 18 reported inter-
view with Yem Sambaur in Djakarta. Story indicated Cambodia was
as ing Thailand for military instructors and advisors and would
eventually ask for combat troops to help drive out NVN/VC forces.
Diplomatic
i
2. Cabodian-ChiCom Diplomatic Staffs. It is expected
that a Swiss Air charter flight will fly the ChiCom staff to Peking
and return with the Cambodian staffs from Peking and Pyongyang.
The North Korean staff and the caretakers from NVN and PRG
Embassies are scheduled to depart with the ChiComs.
3. French De endents Leaving The French Embassy has
authorized dependents of the French military mission and Embassy
to depart "on early leave. " It appears that a large number are
leaving.
Internal
1. Vietnamese Refugees. MACV estimates that between
10 and 30 thousand additional Vietnamese are waiting evacuation
from Cambodia.. The spread in the estimate is due to the fact that
many are afraid to indicate their desire to depart until the last
minute.
2. Lon Nol Appeals to Chinese Residents. Lon Nol has
assured all Chinese residents that the government recognizes their
rights as residents in Cambodia and guarantees to take the necessary
measures to protect their persons and their business. In return, the
government asks only that they respect all laws.
3. Mystery of the Three Sihanouk Ministers. Khieu Samphan,
Hou Youn and Hu Nimhave allegedly written letters broadcast by the
ChiComs. However, radio Peking had reported in 1967 that these
three had been killed at Sihanouk"s orders. Furthermore, a Phnom
Penh newspaper reports that the younger brother of Khieu Samphan
spoke on radio Phnom Penh May 17 and said the three had been killed

by 'men of former Interior Secretary Oum Mannorine, two of them
at Kirirom and the other at Bokor. Until Sihanouk can produce'
these three, doubt will remain that they are alive.
4. New Magazine Appears. Cambodge Nouveau went on sale
May 17 replacing Sihanouk's former magazines Kambuja and S angkum.
Three French holdovers are assisting the Information Minister and
the editor in putting out this publication. It paints a grim picture of
strategic and domestic problems but notes that the enemy's supply
lines are seriously extended, he lacks infrastructure and the
intellectuals are against Sihanouk.
5. School Names Being Changed. AKP reports that names of
all secondary schools associated with the Royal Family, Sihanouk,
his entourage., and Sangkum are, as of May 9, to be changed to names
with a more traditional association. This is the first evidence of
.suppression of the Sangkum, Sihanouk's Buddhist/socialist political
party.
6. Censorship. Incoming international mail has been censored
for several weeks. Because of the volume, however, the Embassy
understands that the end of the envelope is slit, the envelope stapled
together without the letter having been read. It is then stamped
with the "censor" stamp.

C. PRESS POLICY
,l. No new major public affairs difficulties are evident
today. Major reporting of the activities in the Cambodian
sanctuaries and their significance continues to come from
the correspondents on the scene.
2. We also devoted major attention to the matter during
the 50 major Armed Forces Day speeches throughout the country
by Department of Defense officials.
3.-Special film continues to be taken of refugees relief
operations and will continue to be released both here and in
Saigon.
4. The most difficult public problem this week, and
perhaps for a few subsequent weeks, will be the level of
U.S, casualties. In addition, close attention will be paid
to how the caches are disposed of and how fast U.S. personnel
leave Cambodia.
5. Of course, the obvious tactical success will ultimately
be bypassed by assessment of the strategic benefits which will
be measured by the public in terms of continued U.S. with-
drawals and lower U.S. casualties.
D. NEW OPERATION. It is planned to attack Base Area 740 on
the night of 19 May EDT. Subject operation will be conducted
against a major enemy logistics and troop staging area
which has had a relatively high level of activity in the
recent past.
