PERSONS/ENTITIES: GEN. HUYNH DATES: 7/63 CATEGORIES: DIEM OCCURRENCE: General Huynh Van Cao, Commanding General of IV Corps was never taken into the confidence of the coup participants. The participants preferred to work with Colonel Bui Huu Nhon, Commander of the 9th Division. With the 7th Division and the 9th Division, the conspirators dealt with regimental commanders and bypassed the division commanders. This tactic applied also to the Marine Brigade and the Airborne Brigade and, to a lesser extent, to the Armor Command. SOURCE: Hearings, S.S.C.I., 6/20/75, Conein, Exhibit one, page ten.

DON DATES: 7/63 CATEGORIES: DIEM OCCURRENCE: Other general officers such as Do Cao Tri and Nguyen Khanh were informed of the coup planning but did not take part in any of the actual planning. General Ton That Dinh, Commanding General of III Corps, was handled differently. He was given the III Corps command by General Don, who was authorized by General Minh. General Dinh was considered by General Don as a key figure in the coup. General Dinh was instructed by General Don directly or through Colonel Bui Tin to arrest General Binh and their loyal battalion commanders when walking Saigon.
