>>> Explanation of this document, by Douglas Valentine:

Dated 4 August 1967, this memo is authored by senior CIA officer George Carver, then serving as senior advisor on Vietnamese affairs to the Director of Central Intelligence and the CIA's Vietnam Committee.

The memo explains what the Attack on Viet Cong Infrastructure is, and how it is effected by "the Infrastructure Intelligence Coordination and Exploitation Structure (ICEX)." The document was written by Brickham. It refers to the PICs, and the Roles and Missions Study, and problems between the Vietnamese Army and Police which were preventing the Vietnamese from getting with the program. It identified the people who staffed the ICEX Committee, including Komer at DEPCORDS, the CIA chief of station in Saigon, the MACV J2 and J3, and the CIA's RDC Division chief at CORDS. It is seven pages long, with a cover sheet, and was summarily approved.
