MEMORANDUM:
THE ORGANIZATION, ACTIVITIES, AND OBJECTIVE S
OF THE COMMUNIST FRONT IN SOUTH VIETNAM
The National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam
(NFLSV) is ostensibly a democratic and independent organi-
zation. In reality, it was established by and receives its
over-all guidance from North Vietnam. The NFLSV provides
the Communists with a banner under which all facets of in-
surgent political and military activity in the South are organ-
ized. The Front is also designed to provide an alternative
to the Government of South Vietnam. The Communists have
set out in the Front's name a program of broad political
and economic objectives which can be accepted by the ma-
jority of people in the South. A phalanx of affiliated front
organizations has also been created to give the impression
that the NFLSV embodies every significant social, ethnic,
religious, and professional group.
The top public posts in the NFLSV were studded with a
number of "progressive" South Vietnamese, most of whom
are crypto-Communists. Behind these men are the hard-
core Communist leaders in the South who are members of
the "Peoples Revolutionary Party" (PRP)--the southern
branch of the Communist party in North Vietnam. The evi-
dence indicates that PRP committees exist down to the
hamlet level in insurgent-controlled areas. With the inten-
sification of the war in the past few months, the PRP has
begun to take a more open role in directing NFLSV affairs.

~'"'
NFLSV committees have also been established down
to the hamlet level throughout most of the insurgent-held
area. These committees, controlled by the local Commu-
nists, often exercise a wide variety of governmental-type
functions, including the collection of taxes and the organi-
zation of the local economy. Even in the areas held firmly
by the rebels, however, the NFLSV has failed to pick up an
independent following of any size, and its authority is based
mainly on insurgent coercion. The Front has also been un-
able to attract any significant support from any of the politi-
cally influential groups, such as the Buddhists and the labor
unions, outside the Communist-held sectors.
On the international scene, aided and abetted by the DRV,
Liberation Front efforts to publicize the activities and pro-
gram of the insurgents have steadily expanded since the first
permanent NFLSV office was opened abroad in 1962. There
are now seven permanent Front missions abroad, several
of them in Free World countries. During the past few
months, the Vietnamese Communists have waged an in-
creasingly vigorous campaign to gain Free World acceptance
of the NFLSV as the "legitimate representative" of the South
Vietnamese people. This campaign has involved a broaden-
ing of Communist claims on the extent of Front control in
South Vietnam, and a further open assumption of govern-
ment trappings by the NFLSV. So far, the Communists
have stopped short of declaring the formation of a provisional
Front government at the national level in South Vietnam. A
number of problems still stand in the way of such a move,
and it daes not appear likely in the near future.
