     SUBCOMMITTEE ON FOREIGN OPERATIONS AND GOVERNMENT INFORMATION


Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We are appearing here today in response to your request concerning

the pacification and development programs in Vietnam.

Origin of CORDS

     The operating arrangement, now known as the Civil Operations and

Rural Development Support (CORDS), grew out of an effort in 1967 to

improve the U.S. capability for management of its pacification efforts

by establishing a single line of management responsibility for U.S. teams

and advisors out in the regions, provinces and districts throughout

Vietnam.

     Previously there had been no effective mechanism for coordination

of the U.S. pacification activities in the field among the various

military and civilian chains of responsibility. It was stated at the

time it was initiated in May 1967 to be an arrangement

     to provide for the integration of Civil Operations and
     Revolutionary Development Support activities within MACV
     -- to provide for single manager direction of all U. S.
     Civil/Military Revolutionary Development activities in
     the Republic of Vietnam.
