1. Attached is a revised draft of OER Project 52.5732
Communist Subversion in the South Vietnamese Army and
Secura.ty Apparatus . T i s draft has been fullyT c o?rc mated
w~ Eh ?` T , "Oi air -`SAVA and once your coordination is
received it will go to press. It now incorporates many
of the suggestions and comments you sent to us on 29 June
1970. In addition, I understand that there ha
number meetinas een analysts in OER and 25
to iron out other differences in
opinion.
2. You will recall the history of this report. On
19 May Dr. Kissinger requested of MMlr. Helms an analysis
of Viet Cong military proselyting and penetrating activities.
On 25 June Mr. Helms responded by sending to Dr. Kissinger
an eight page memorandum with an attachment on communist
Subversive Efforts in South Vietnam. The attachment was
eoorc nated througnout`th Agoncy;` In his memorandum to
Dr. Kissinger, the DCI indicated that a more thorough
study was underway and would be seat to Dr. Kissinger as
soon as it was completed. It is this report which is
attached. It is essentially an amplification of tine
sort report already sent to Dr. Kissinger.
3. Some specific changes or corrections can still
be made in the report. However, we have moved slowly
through the coordination process so as to satisfy as many
divergent views as possible. Further delays could become
embarrassing because the TUC staff knows that this report

is in coordination and delay could lead them to believe
that there are greater divergencies of views within the
Agency than have, in fact, ever existed.
4. I have enclosed copies of your earlier comments
and have indicated with marginal notes those which were
specifically taken into account in the detailed redrafting
of the report. I have also enclosed a copy of Mr. Helms'
memorandum of 25 June 1970 to Dr. Kissinger and a copy of
the coordinated memorandum and attachment on Communist
Sui.svarsive Efforts in South Vietnam. .
