1. ' South Vietnam: The situation remains un-
stable as Khanh has continued to maneuver to
neutralize his rivals following his return
from Dalat amid a flurry of anticoup prepara-
tions.
General Khiem,reportedly fed up with Bud-
dhist pressures, has submitted his resignation
as defense minister and member of the governing
triumvirate. Khanh told Ambassador Taylor that
he has the "resignations" of all the military
members of the government, but does not yet
know which ones to accept.
Khanh told Taylor he intends to make a
number of changes in his current interim govern-
ment, generally toward giving it a "civilian
aspect." At a press conference on 4 September,
he outlined ambitious plans to turn over the
government to the civilians in two months. He
envisaged a presidential form,with separate
legislative, executive and judicial ems..
How long this plan will survive remains
to be seen. Before Khanh's return from Dalat,
Ambassador Taylor warned that "we should not
delude ourselves that we can put together any
combination of personalities which will add up
to a really effective government in the fore-
seeable future."

Some Dai Viet military officers whom Khanh
apparently intends to replace have indicated
they may leave Vietnam; they accuse Khanh of
giving way to unreasonable Buddhist demands.
Other officers cooperating with Khanh also
think that the demands of the Buddhists pose
a serious problem. Khanh's move on 3 Septem-
ber--when threatened by a Buddhist hunger
strike--to assure the release of all those
arrested in the recent Saigon rioting undoubt-
edly has increased this concern.
So far, government military operations
have continued at an average pace, and the Viet
? Cong have not yet stepped up their activity.
We cannot be sure, however, how long the Viet
Cong will hold off.
2. Congo: There has been no significant
improvement in the security picture.
Katanga has been all but cleared of rebels.
But the rebels continue to make gains in the
north and northeast, and there are no good
government troops available to resist them.
CoquilhatVille, the last major town upriver
from Leopoldville, is now threatened by rebels
last reported only 100 miles to the northeast.
All Americans have been evacuated.
