Summary:  
This document is a CIA Information Report dated April 25, 1963, detailing activities of the Viet Cong (VC) in the Saigon-Cholon-Gia Dinh special zone during early April 1963. It notes that ward-level officials were informed of increased terrorist and military subversion operations, with the area's terrorist organization restructuring to operate under district-level organizations rather than direct control by the special zone committee. Each district was instructed to develop one or two terrorist groups consisting of three cells each, which would conduct operations beyond their districts as opportunities arose. Americans were identified as primary targets. Counterpropaganda personnel were ordered to suspend activities and await transfer orders, with many expected to be reassigned to military subversion organizations. The report includes dissemination controls and lists recipient agencies such as the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Joint Chiefs of Staff.
