Abstract:
III Corps Commander General Khang's Comments on the Presidential Election and on the Probable Military Reaction to a Civilian Victory [Gen. Khang feels the conduct of civilian candidates confirms the military's
fears that South Vietnam is not ready for
democracy; the military will accept a
civilian victory if the elected civilian,
such as Tran Van Huong, is anti-Communist and
has the country's interests at heart; in any
other case, the military would have to
consider whether the elected civilian should
be allowed to take office]. Intelligence
