Scope and Content of Collection

The Lansdale papers are drawn almost entirely from the post-World War II period and consist of writings, memoranda, reports, studies, correspondence, printed matter, sound recordings, and photographs relating to the Vietnam War and to counter-guerrilla operations, especially in Vietnam and the Philippines..
The first five series (Biographical File, Correspondence, Diaries and Notebooks, Speeches and Writings, and Subject File) consist of materials drawn from 1945-1987. The diaries record some of Lansdale's impressions and experiences during his first period in the Philippines. Within the Speeches and Writings series are the notes and drafts for Lansdale's memoirs (In the Midst of Wars), containing material not published in the final version. The Subject File series is very broad, but of special interest under "Vietnam" are the sub-headings "politics and government" and "Republic of Vietnam." The latter is a sampling of memoranda and other papers from the government of Ngo Dinh Diem and his successors. Finally, several pamphlets outlining "operational guidelines" for cadre working within the rural construction (revolutionary development) program are found under "Vietnamese conflict" (sub-heading "pacification").
The next five series follow Lansdale's career paths from his first years in the Philippines to his last stay in Vietnam. There are three very compact series of material from his two periods in the Philippines and his first period in Vietnam. The bulk of the collection is found in the other two career series: the files from the Department of Defense, Office of the Secretary of Defense, and from the United States Embassy-Saigon, Senior Liaison Office.
In the Department of Defense series are found memoranda, reports, and other items from the Draper Committee, including schedules from that committee's 1959 tour of some Southeast Asia countries. Notes, correspondence, and comments from Lansdale's 1961 trip to Vietnam (with General Maxwell Taylor's party) are also of interest and are found in this series under "subject file" (sub-heading "Vietnam").
Within the Senior Liaison Office series, the "day files" are especially complete (except for the security withdrawals--see below). These files comprise a record of each outgoing letter, memo, and report. Because of the sensitive nature of many of the Lansdale papers, there have been many documents withdrawn for security reasons. In the place of these documents the researcher will find numbered out cards. These documents are reviewed for declassification consideration at five-year intervals, and those that have been returned to the collection can be found in the Declassified Documents series.
Other series include oversize materials, printed matter, audiovisual material, maps and charts, and memorabilia. The various sound recordings collected by Lansdale may be of especial interest to researchers.

Senior Liaison Office staff and friends 1965-1975

Scope and Contents note

While in Saigon, General Lansdale and other members of the Senior Liaison Office (SLO) staff invited Vietnamese and American musicians to record at 194 Cong Ly, where the staff was quartered. Some members of the SLO staff were themselves musicians. Ambassador Lodge and Premier Nguyen Kao Ky are heard from time to time, as are other government and military figures. Frequently recorded individuals include Vietnamese composer Pham Duy, American folksinger Steve Addis, USAID Provincial Operations Director Colonel Sam Wilson, SLO volunteer Bernie Yoh, southern province advisor Captain Hershel Gober, and career Foreign Service officer Jim Bullington.
Colonel Sam Wilson was a close friend of General Lansdale's and had been on Lansdale's Special Operations staff at the Pentagon. Later, he became a Lieutenant General in the U.S. Army, after serving as U.S. Military Attache in Moscow, director of the Military Intelligence Agency, and Deputy Director of the CIA.
Bernie Yoh was an unpaid volunteer with the SLO. Yoh was Chinese and a close friend of Archbishop Yu-peng. He had run the Shanghai "net" for Americans in World War II and was introduced to Lansdale by Ngo Dinh Diem in 1955. While in his teens, Yoh conducted the Shanghai Philharmonic Orchestra.
Captain Hershel Gober was an infantry adviser in Rach Gia, on the Gulf of Siam, on the southern coast of Vietnam. He had served in Germany under Colonel Sam Karrick. Colonel Karrick had served on Lansdale's staff at TRIM (MAAG-Vietnam) in 1954 to 1955 and was with the SLO from 1965 to 1967.
Jim Bullington was a Foreign Service Officer, stationed as a Consular officer in Hue. At the time of the first songs, he was an aide to Ambassador Lodge.
A few tapes were recorded after General Lansdale had returned to the United States. The tapes are arranged in approximate chronological order, and English song titles are listed whenever possible.

Tape 4, Vietnam 1965 November 25

Use copy reference number: 80116_a_0000687

Scope and Contents note

This tape is labelled "General Thang--instructions on RCC songs." Recorded at 194 Cong Ly, it is a discussion among General Thang, General Lansdale, songwriter Pham Duy, and SLO staff members Hank Miller and Bernie Yoh. Pham Duy speaks mostly in French throughout this tape. This was taped following a Thanksgiving dinner at Lansdale's quarters. General Thang, a close friend of Lansdale's and a top minister in Ky's cabinet, was thrilled to meet Pham Duy, whose music he remembered from his childhood. General Thang and Pham Duy, encouraged by General Lansdale, reminisce about the first days of the Viet Minh, and about the troop songs Pham Duy had written during the Viet Minh resistance against the French. (When the Communist control of the Viet Minh was revealed, Pham Duy quit that organization.)
The discussion begins with a comment from General Thang about persuading the people of Vietnam to back the government against the Communists. Soon the discussion turns to music as a way to rally the people. General Thang wants to have one inspiring song for all of Vietnam. The group discusses a song writing contest in order to find such a popular song. Pham Duy then talks (General Thang translates) about the folk music traditions of the different villages, and how difficult it would be to introduce one song. Since the problem seems to be that of restoring the pride and confidence of the people, Pham Duy suggests a program of restoring the old traditional music of each village. The music is the pride of the village; a village will not adopt the music of some other region. He gives an example of one song sung very differently in two different regions.
General Thang complains that the Viet Cong have simple, catchy songs that everyone seems to be singing. He gives one example of such a Viet Cong song, and it turns out to be one of Pham Duy's old Viet Minh songs. Pham Duy discusses the people of Vietnam, who are very tired of war, and the spiritlessness of their current songs. This discussion is continued on tapes 5 and 6. A transcript of these tapes is found in Appendix A .

Tape 5, Vietnam 1965 November 25

Scope and Contents note

This is a continuation from tape 4. General Lansdale and General Thang talk about cadre re-training and about rural pacification. The entire group then discusses personalities and cadre training. Pham Duy is part of this discussion. Everyone agrees that music should be included in cadre training.

This tape is a recording of an "SLO pre-curfew party" in Saigon at 194 Cong Ly. Radio Hanoi had just announced the beginning of "hate Americans" week, and during the same broadcast had threatened to assassinate General Lansdale.

Scope and Contents note

This tape is a recording of "Captain Hershel Gober and the Black Patches." The recording was made at 194 Cong Ly. This is the first in a series of three tapes: 21-23. The tape begins with instrumental music, then Captain Hershel Gober and his band are introduced. Gober thanks the "ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ambassador, our gracious host, General Lansdale," and begins to perform a show which he says will be played for soldiers in the field.
After one number, General Lansdale breaks in to explain who the musicians are and what they're doing. He talks about Hershel Gober, who Lansdale has known since they served together in Germany. Lansdale suggested to General Westmoreland that Gober assemble a band, which would go out and entertain servicemen at far-away outposts that the USO might not reach. Four other musicians were pulled from "all over Vietnam" to assemble the band, which plays on the remainder of this tape.
There is a large audience, evidently including Ambassador Lodge.

Tape 30, Vietnam 1966

Scope and Contents note

This tape and the next one (31) bring together songs by a variety of people, Vietnamese and American, who gathered in General Lansdale's Saigon quarters at 194 Cong Ly. Lansdale and other members of the Senior Liaison Office Staff selected folk songs and, with a narration written by Lansdale and read by Hank Miller (also on the SLO staff), included them in this recorded report entitled, "In the Midst of War."
According to Lansdale, this complilation of songs was made with Washington officials in mind. Copies of the tapes were sent to President Johnson, Vice President Humphrey, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Secretary of Defense Robert MacNamara, Senator Fulbright, and National Security Advisor Walter Rostow. (Ambassador Lodge and General Westmoreland also received copies.) Lansdale hoped to give the policy makers a "feel" for the people involved in Vietnam, but he received only formal acknowledgements and "had a sneaking feeling" that the policy makers never listened to the contents of the tapes.
Many of the artists heard on other tapes -- Pham Duy, Steve Addis, Hershel Gober, Sam Wilson, and Jim Bullington, among others -- are included in this report. There are Vietnamese and American folk songs and new songs written by servicemen in Vietnam. General Lansdale's friend, the Vietnamese songwriter Pham Duy, appears throughout the tape program. There are 51 songs, including some repeats.
A list of the songs, and a copy of the narrative part of the program, accompanies this register in Appendix B .

Scope and Contents note

This is a tape of a visit to 194 Cong Ly by John Steinbeck. He listens to Pham Duy and Steve Addis, and Steve Addis talks from time to time about Vietnamese music. According to Addis, there are three types of Vietnamese songs: folk, classical, and "heart" songs. Most of Pham Duy's songs are "heart" songs.
This is the first of a series of tapes: 32, 33, and 34.

Tape 33, Vietnam 1967

Scope and Contents note

This is a continuation of the Steinbeck visit. It begins with Pham Duy talking about American protest songs -- "they only protest against us" and never against the other side. His songs are also protest songs, he says, but against the North Vietnamese.
box 87

1. "On Behalf," Pham Duy (Vietnamese), with Steve Addis giving a translation at the end of each verse

box 87

2. "Suc May Ma Buon," Pham Duy (Vietnamese)

Scope and Contents note

Pham Duy, Steve Addis, and General Lansdale talk about the "tone" of Vietnamese songs. Since Vietnamese is a tonal language, its words have almost musical ups and downs. If a word has a rising accent, or a lowering accent, when set to music it would need appropriate rising or lowering tones in the song. Pham Duy comments that Vietnamese songs are usually sad and defeated-sounding. Although the next song has a different, uplifting tone, it nevertheless caught on.
box 87

3. "Youth Song," Pham Duy (Vietnamese)

Scope and Contents note

Pham Duy talks about trying to "entertain" a people which has endured 25 years of war. He says that the duty of an artist is to "harmonize" society. It is necessary to leave the city and work in the villages.
General Lansdale reminisces about the 1965 Thanksgiving dinner with General Thang. Thang told Pham Duy to write some new songs, because he hadn't written a good song since 1948 (when "Youth Song" was composed).
box 87

4. "Carrying Rice," Pham Duy (Vietnamese)

Scope and Contents note

This is an example of a song to mobilize the people.
box 87

5. "Dirty Old Town," Steve Addis (English)

Scope and Contents note

After this song, Steve Addis discusses Vietnamese music, expecially the music of North Vietnam. Lansdale comments on a poem, written by a Viet Cong who had been killed in a battle; the poem was to his mother. Pham Duy set it to music and it was heard all over South Vietnam. Lansdale felt it was effective counter-propaganda, because it was critical of the Viet Cong.

This is a recording of a "Vietnamese Youth Choral Group" recorded at 194 Cong Ly. It includes music of two young Vietnamese composers. It was taped at the time of the first national elections held under the new Constitution, which had been written by the Constituent Assembly. Two of the political observers who had come at President Johnson's invitation were staying at General Lansdale's quarters. One of them, Robert Coate, was chairman of the Democratic Party for northern California. The other observer, Bill Connell, was executive officer for Vice President Humphrey. General Lansdale's nephew, Bill Lansdale, happened to be there at the same time (he was just beginning a tour of duty in Vietnam as a seaman in the Navy). The singers were from the Buddhist University in Saigon, who had stopped by to say hello.
The list of participants includes: Trinh Cong Son and Nguyen Duc Quang (composers and singers); Tran Dai Loc (teacher, southern Buddhist); Le Dinh Dieu and Mrs. Dieu (teachers); Do Ngoc Yen (announcer); Pham Phu Minh (teacher, central Vietnam); Phan Van Phung (teacher, Buddhist movement); Do Anh Tai (teacher), and Nguyen Huu Dang (architect).

At this point General Lansdale's voice comes on the tape, in a new recording session at some other time. He says, "Here's a couple of songs that were recorded in Liberia, by a Liberian group that's playing at the ________ hotel in Monrovia. The leader's named Sherman Brown. He's a Liberian, and he's a wonderful musician; he's a writer of songs and he's a singer. The first song is one that was written for the Voice of America, for the flight of Gemini 4. It was written, produced, and performed in 36 hours, and it has a few faults, but it has some ideas in it. The second one, which didn't come out until the recording session for the first one, was one that Sherman Brown had written himself to express the same idea--that people are people the world or the universe around, and the sooner we get together, the better. The second is called 'Fly With Me.'"

Tape 56, United States undated

Scope and Contents note

This is a recording of the "Cosmos Tabernacle Choir." This is the same group of CIA personnel which goes by the name of the "Embassy Boys Choir" on other tapes. The recording was made after the war, at the home of Joseph Baker (a former SLO staff member) in McLean, Virginia. Lansdale had gathered the veterans together in order to record their songs and add them to his collection. The songs date roughly from 1963 (but the recording was, of course, made much later).
This Choir sings mild satire about conditions in Vietnam, and about the coup(s). The songs are parodies sung to familiar tunes such as "The Twelve Days of Christmas" and "The Yellow Rose of Texas." The quality of the recording is not good -- it is difficult to understand the words.

Scope and Contents note

Vietnamese music 1967 undated

Scope and Contents note

These tapes are recorded entirely in Vietnamese. There is a series entitled "Trinh Cong Son" (69-70), a series entitled "Trinh Minh The" (71-78), and a series entitled "Signers [ sic] and Players" (79-87). The last tape in this group (87) contains Viet Cong music.
The "Trinh Minh The" series contains tapes of the Lien Minh, guerrilla troops under Trinh Minh The. General Lansdale first heard the songs of the Lien Minh in 1954-1955. When he returned to Vietnam in 1965, he asked General Van Thanh Cao, who had been Trinh Minh The's deputy, if he could locate any of the songs. Cao gave Lansdale these recordings.
The other two series include songs of the Vung Tao Choir, a cadre group of trainees at the Rural Development camp at Vung Tao. ("Rural Development" was changed to "Revolutionary Development" by the Americans; the work of the RD cadres was commonly known as "pacification.") The cadre songs were militant and similar to Vietcong songs. Pham Duy wrote some strikingly unusual songs for the cadres; most of these were written at Lansdale's Cong Ly quarters.

Second on this tape is a recording of unidentified voices in a Vietnamese conversation, followed by weird, electronically-enhanced sounds of gunfire, bombs, and people screaming.

Next is an unidentified voice saying, "Hi there. Upcoming is a tape; it is a general ________ [Vietnamese word] appeal in Southern Vietnamese dialect. In ten seconds the message will begin." This is followed by music, a woman's voice, and then more music. The entire sequence is repeated, this time "in the Central Vietnamese dialect." Then a voice says, "Hi there. We've got an upcoming tape; it is a warning to the Viet Cong that they will soon be bombed by aircraft, in the Southern Vietnamese dialect. In ten seconds the message will begin." This is followed by music, the message, and more music.
Fourth on this tape is unidentified sounds and conversation which can't be heard. The only sentence sufficiently amplified is, "That was a good one." The sounds might be highly amplified eating noises. General Lansdale has entitled this section of the tape, "Joe Redick eats pi~ons."

General Lansdale recalls that the Evening News ran a spoof edition for the affair, with the banner headlines warning the Pentagon that Lansdale was on his way home.
After the Despidida there remains a portion of the program which was recorded on the tape before it was used for the Despidida.

Hearing gunshots in the street, the correspondent had rushed out to see what was going on and to record the incident. Across the street from the hotel was the "Brinks," a U.S. officers' compound which had been bombed once by the Viet Cong. It had been rumored that the Viet Cong were about to attack again, and on this particular morning the police and others thought they saw a Viet Cong squad in a car trying to crash into the entrance of the Brinks. The police opened fire in the midst of the morning rush hour. There is the sound of explosions and weapons, and a description by the correspondent of the action taking place. Later, the wounded are carried away and pass near the microphone. The voices of those hurt and the medics caring for them are heard. This incident turned out to be a false alarm: there were no Viet Cong.

Tape 119, United States undated

Scope and Contents note

This is a tape of a radio program in which General Lansdale took part. The program is entitled "This Shrinking World," and it is a series of editorials based on American foreign aid and the mutual security program. This series is (or was) broadcast by an NBC affiliate, WRC (location unknown). This particular segment of "This Shrinking World" takes the form of a panel discussion with former American Ambassador to Turkey George McGee, now a member of the Draper Committee; the Financial Minister from the British Embassy; and Assistant to the Secretary of Defense Colonel Edward Lansdale. There are two journalists/commentators.
The discussion begins with a comparison of British and American foreign aid to poorer countries. Each commentator seems anxious to establish which nation, the U.S. or Great Britain, gives more aid. The type of aid given to the various recipients is discussed, and it is agreed that it is futile to give economic aid without also giving military aid (for security). The type of aid given by the U.S.S.R. is discussed, and it is agreed that the Soviets give aid in order to dominate. Soviet "economic warfare" is mentioned and discussed. The panel also talks about the attitudes of the people of the nations giving aid, and those of the people receiving the aid.

Tape 120, Philippines 1954

Scope and Contents note

This is a recording of a talk given by Lansdale to a military audience in the Philippines. His subject is the war in Indochina. Lansdale hopes to interest his audience in this topic because of the proximity of Vietnam to the Philippines. He begins with a history of Vietnam, from the colonial period on, to explain why and how the French come to be involved in this war. He discusses Ho Chi Minh and describes him as a "professional revolutionary" educated, in part, in Moscow. He emphasizes that many "regular" (governmental) armed forces in Vietnam have voluntarily joined the French against Ho Chi Minh's forces. He finally points out that the Viet Minh are advised by at least 2,000 Chinese Communists and draws an analogy with the Japanese invasion during World War II: first Vietnam, then Thailand, Burma, Malaya, Indonesia, and finally the Philippines fell to foreign domination. After General Lansdale's talk there are questions and comments from the audience.

Tape 121, United States 1959 June

Scope and Contents note

This is a tape of a portion of the 12th annual conference of the Military Government Association, held in Washington, D.C. A speaker calls the meeting to order and introduces the chairman of the first panel, the topic of which is "International Military and Political Affairs." The chairman, who is a past president of the Association, is Brig. General Strom Thurmond. Thurmond introduces each panel member as they present their talks. Below is a list and a synopsis of what each has to say.
The Honorable John Erwin II, Assistant Secretary of Defense, was supposed to have given a talk but was unable to attend. His deputy, Robert H. Knight, took Erwin's place. Knight reviews the strength of the military of Communist states and the uses to which the military is put. According to Knight, the Communists use their military to control others, to supply arms to small countries, to take over small countries, and to provide self-defense in the event of war (including an accidental war). Knight also reviews the strength of the U.S. and other free-world military forces.
Brig. General Millard C. Young, Air Force, from the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, covers the topic of personnel and planning for cold war activities. Before he begins he mentions that he feels "timid before such outstanding company as General Lansdale." He discusses the "state" of cold war and the psychological preparedness of the Communists. He argues that Americans, military and non-military, must "put on our cold war glasses" to see reality, and we must "keep them on all the time." He further argues that to successfully combat Communist propaganda against us (which makes us unpopular in the countries we are trying to help), we must send to trouble spots people who know the language and the customs of the host population.
The Honorable Robert D. Murphy, Undersecretary of State, is given the topic of the "international political situation." He decides to discuss the Berlin situation, "as it relates to the present talks going on in Geneva." Murphy outlines the plan offered by the U.S., which includes reunification of Berlin as the prospective capital of a reunited Germany; free elections; agreed-upon reduction of forces (by all four powers) in both Germanys; measures to prevent Germany from becoming aggressive; and a democratic government for the reunited Germany.
Colonel Edward Lansdale, Deputy Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Special Operations, speaks on "cold war and civil affairs." General Lansdale touches on the basic differences between Communist thought and American thought, and he discusses "the little people" who must deal with Communists in their own country. He outlines the reaction of the people of the Philippines to the Communist Huks, and the difference in morale made by the institution of free elections. He concludes by stressing that the U.S. must hold fast in the fight for freedom, because it is our bond with "men of good will, everywhere."
Richard M. Helms covers the fifth topic, "Soviet military occupation." Helms is the Assistant Director of the CIA. His talk is a review of history, concentrating on the way the U.S.S.R. tried to rule (and usually succeeded) in four countries: Austria, East Germany, Poland, and Hungary. He discusses the way the people of these countries resisted Soviet repression of their freedoms (of press, speech, and assembly). He then describes how the Soviets were able, more often than not, to crush any resistance.

Tape 123, United States 1970 January 16

Scope and Contents note

COIN course lecture. This lecture was the final class of a course preparing students to handle matters of "insurgency and counterinsurgency." Some of the students were evidently bound for Vietnam. The speaker is Dr. Walter H. Judd, an expert on U.S. foreign policy who served in Congress for Minnesota's 5th District and also acted as a delegate to the World Health Association of the U.N. Dr. Judd lived in mainland China for ten years as a medical missionary under Communist rule.
The theme of Dr. Judd's lecture is that communism is an international, not a national, movement. "There is on this planet an organized, world-wide movement with the avowed objective and the unwavering will and the steadily-increasing capability to impose its rule on the rest of the world, including the United States." He scorns those who believe that communism is "mellowing" or "maturing." He gives many examples of ways that the U.S.S.R. could lesson world tensions, but it does not do any of these things. Judd argues that the disagreement between the Chinese and Soviet Communists is a struggle within the Party, not between two parties. He emphasizes that it is important to recognize these facts about the Communists, if we are to defeat them.
He further argues that individual Communist leaders, such as Ho Chi Minh, are not dedicated to the well-being of their own people but rather to the international movement. The war in Vietnam is not, then, simply a civil war and not a war of liberation. According to Judd, the U.S.S.R. wishes to embarrass the U.S. in Vietnam. Because Communist leaders view international communism as an inevitability, and as the only way to achieve world peace, the U.S. is seen as an obstacle. Communist leaders use war, diplomacy, and tricks (Judd gives examples of each of these) to advance their cause. The U.S. should not expect the Communist leaders to grant concessions, Judd says, or to meet it halfway, and the U.S. should not be surprised when the Communists act with treachery. The Communists see themselves as engaged in total war. Judd concludes that the U.S. must learn to engage in total war -- economic, social, educative, athletic, artistic, etc. -- if it is to successfully deal with them. Eventually, Judd says, the U.S. can outlast the Communists. The Communist movement will die out because of internal contradictions and because of the cruelty of its system of government.

Scope and Contents note

This is a recording of an informal interview of General Lansdale by a person -- probably a journalist -- whose name is not given. The interviewer is gathering information about the Vietnam War. At the start, however, the two men talk about a special program that NBC wants to air based on the Pentagon Papers. NBC wants to interview General Lansdale, which he agrees to do if NBC will, in turn, make some copies of some of Lansdale's tapes. The tapes he needs evidently include some of Pham Duy's music, and General Lansdale hopes that the producer will be interested in it.
Pham Duy "just showed up here in the U.S." with a group of classical musicians. He will be taping music at the University of Southern Illinois (at Carbondale), which has a Center for Vietnamese Studies (a Mr. H. B. Jacobini is Pham Duy's contact there).
Next the book General Lansdale has written is mentioned. It is to be released in February of 1972. Mme. Nhu has also written a book, and the two men discuss Mme. Nhu for a few minutes.
The interviewer says that he has done some reading since the last time he and General Lansdale talked, and he has some questions. The first topic he brings up is the concept of "personalism," which is a concept, philosophy, or technique which was related to politics (of the Diem regime) in South Vietnam. The two discuss Diem and his relationship to the people of Vietnam, and Diem's use of radio to provide information to the people. Lansdale discusses personalism and individuals from Vietnam's past. He also brings up Communist organizational techniques, which were adopted (in part) by other parties and even by the Saigon government.
The two then talk about Vietnam under French rule and the difficulties the people in public office had in getting along with the citizens of Vietnam. The public officials were perhaps too anxious to use their authority, because they had had none before (like the newly-arrived Irish immigrants to the U.S., who became policemen).
General Lansdale then talks about Confucianism and its strong influence in Vietnam. The interviewer asks a question about what he thinks might be an "Oriental custom" -- bringing in a third party, if negotiations between two people break down. General Lansdale points out that this is not a custom particular to the Vietnamese and says that Americans newly-arrived in Vietnam often find the culture so exotic that they don't think of the Vietnamese as humans who are more like than unlike other people.
General Lansdale talks about the strategic hamlet program in Vietnam and in the Philippines.
The interviewer brings up a new subject -- what is referred to in the Pentagon Papers as "grey broadcasts." These are evidently broadcasts by clandestine radio stations. General Lansdale doesn't recall anything about this.
General Lansdale discusses "rumor campaigns" which are used to alert the people to Communist atrocities.
SIDE TWO

General Lansdale mentions the complicated U.S. bureaucracy which was quickly set up in Vietnam and the tendency of officials to appoint committees to deal with ideas, thus burying them.
Finally, the two talk again about Pham Duy. He will be joined at Southern Illinois by Steve Addis.

Tape 125, United States undated

Scope and Contents note

This is a recording of a seminar led, evidently, by General Lansdale. No date is given. A guest speaker, Colonel Yehuda Prihar of Israel, is featured during the particular session recorded here. Col. Prihar fought during World War II with the British and then fought in Israel's war of independence. After independence, Prihar became experienced in resisting infiltration. His talk to General Lansdale's class is on "anti-infiltration warfare."
Prihar discusses the early days in Israel -- the importance to the displaced people of Europe to have land of their own to farm. Then he describes the problem of guerrilla infiltrators crossing the borders into Israel and terrorizing the population while gathering intelligence. Israel, therefore, devised a system of border settlements, populated by farmer-soldiers. The settlements, with their ponds and their groves of trees, block the pathways into Israel. Three "layers" of settlements are set up -- the Kibbutz, which is the strongest type of village, the cooperative, and the traditional farming community. The young people of Israel, all of whom go through military training, are educated (Prihar says "indoctrinated") to go, if they desire, to set up a new settlement. There is cooperation among villages in case of an encounter with military forces of the enemy, and each settlement is equipped to defend itself. There is a military officer of the Israeli army for each set (or sector) of settlements. Prihar details certain tactics the settlers might use. He then describes how such infiltration-resistant settlements might be set up in other countries trying to resist enemy guerrillas.

Tape 126 undated

Scope and Contents note

This is a recording of an undated "AWA" editorial. The speaker is not identified. He argues that the United States cannot win the war in Vietnam and that it cannot persuade Ho Chi Minh to negotiate a peace. He maintains that it is hopeless to continue, despite the technology of weaponry which the U.S. has employed against the Viet Cong, because (1) the Viet Cong have fought the Japanese, the French, and now the Americans and are willing to continue fighting; (2) the Viet Cong are capable of increasing troops and arms to meet U.S. increases; (3) the U.S. cannot compete with "Oriental patience and disregard for human life"; (4) the U.S.S.R. is determined to provide arms for the Viet Cong in order to keep the U.S. mired in this conflict; and (5) Ho Chi Minh is determined to win, even if he must retreat to the jungle and wage a guerrilla war.
The speaker then argues that Vietnam is unlike other wars: the United States has used more fire power than it used in World War II, and "we have assembled the most formidable fighting machine in the world," but "it has not been equal to half-naked natives, and our wisdom unequal to bridging the huge gulf separating the cultures of East and West." The only "road out of the wilderness," he feels, is turning civil and military responsibilities over to the Vietnamese. He concludes that it is paternalistic to claim that the Vietnamese are not ready for this responsibility. The U.S. cannot govern Vietnam because it clearly does not understand the people and culture. A few brilliant men -- "such as General Edward Lansdale" -- understand the politics, but most U.S. leaders do not.
