Khanh supported a civilian government under PhanHuyQuat, which enjoyed the favor of the Buddhists.
Johnson declared the readiness of the U.S. government to embark on “unconditional discussions of peace.” At the same time, he outlined a vast plan for the economic development of all Southeast Asia.
Premier Quat was forced out of office by Generals Ky and Thieu, who (June 18) became respectively premier and president of the National Leadership Committee.
Quat's unpublicized talks with Saigon's Catholic leaders have won him at least passive support from that quarter, and his handling of the military has also shown promise.
Quat's travels through the countryside have taken him from Hué in the north to the tip of Camau Peninsula, talking to peasants and regional politicians in an attempt to show Saigon's interest in their problems.
As much as anything, Quat's longevity is based on the simple fact that the Armed Forces Council is currently split into four or five groups—none seemingly powerful enough to bring off a coup at the moment.
