Judge, USMC from Saigon. As you know the State Department has primary responsibility in this area since they have jurisdiction over the Marine Security Guard Detachments. The most recent message on their efforts to recover the remains is attached at Tab B. Kenneth R.

NARRA'riVE sut--11'1ARY Cpl Charles MCMAHON and LCpl Danlin JUDGE were instant.ly killed by an artillery rocket at the Defense Attache Office compound at Tan Son Nhui: in Saigon at 4 a.m. •ruesday r April 29, which would be Monday afternoon, 4 p.m. in Washington, D.C. Within a few hours, Marine Officers were at the homes of the parents of the two slain Marines to notify them officially of the deaths. Next day a priority radio message was dispatched, at the heiqht of the evacuation, to our Embassy in Saigon requesting information on .the whereabouts of the remains and details con­ cerning the return of the bodies. We received a message in­ dicating the remains were aboard the carrier, USS MIDWAY. An inquiry to the USS MIDWAY about the plans for transhipping the bodies brought the response that the remains of the two Harines were not aboard. Contact was then made with J1arine Brigadier General Richard CAREY, Commander of the Task Group that spearheaded the evacuation who was then on one of the evacuation naval vessels~ General CAREY started an investi­ gation to locate the bodies. Telephone calls were made to U'l'APAO and SATTAHIP and all bases in Thailand; the replies ·were negative. In the ensuing days, in response to messages from Washington, D.C., searches were conducted aboard all the 7th Fleet ships in the area, and then expru1ded to the U.S. Bases at Subic and Clark in the Philippines, and Guam, the Marianas. All ships and land bases responded with negative replies. In­ quiries, interviews and investigations continued over the weekend; attempts were made to communicate with personnel of the Defense Attache Office, Saigon, \vho by this time were dispersed. On Tuesday, May 6, General CAREY reported from aboard his ship that thus far his inquiry had established only that the remains of the two Marines \vere received at the Sevehth Day Adventist Hospital near Ton Son Nhut. The Marine Security Guard Detach- ment Commander, we were advised, had attempted be leaving Saigon to have the remains evacuated through appropriate Embassy channels. The Deputy Chief of Mission at the American Embassy, Saigon stated that the remains had left Saigon on one of the last USAF Cl30/Cl41 aircraft. He understood they were bound for Clark AFB, Philippines. It was later determined that the bodies of the Marines were not aboard any of the fixed wing USI-~.F planes that left Tan Son Nhut before the rport was closed to fixed wing aircraft~ 1 C2neral Ci\REY advised us that the remains were in all probability at the hospital and that he was requesting assistance from Ambassador Martin in recovering the remains through diplomatic initiatives. On the evening of Tuesday, May 6, the HCMAHON and JUDGE families again were called upon by Marine Officers and were notified of the facts. They were told: "We are unable to confirm that the remains of your son were evacuated from South Vietnam. The last known location of the remains was the Seventh Day Adventist Hospital 1 Saigon 1 vlhere they were sent for preparation for evacuation. Be assured we are doing our utmost to locate and recover your son's remains." "It is requested that you do not disclose this in­ formation to other than the immediate family mem­ bers for at least one day in order that our con­ tinuing efforts in this regard are not impeded." After midnight the Office of Public Affairs, Department of Defense was confirming in response to inquiries from the press that the bodies of the two Marines were possibly still at the hospital in Saigon, and at the regular daily press briefing on Wednesday morning all known details were released to the press. That same day, the Department of Defense was informed by the Department of State that the probable source of reports that the remains had been evacuated was a garbled telecon with the Seventh Day Adventist Hospital in Saigon at the height of the evacuation.

My deepest gratitude goes first and foremost to Associate Professor Hussin Mutalib, my main supervisor, for his constant encouragement and guidance. Words cannot express my gratitude for Professor Hussin’s firm support and illuminating comments. Most importantly, without his patience with my slow writing process, this thesis could not have reached its present form. I would also like to record my heartfelt gratitude to my three co-supervisors: Dr. Kenneth Paul Tan, Dr. Jamie Davidson, and Dr. Wang Cheng-Lung, for their valuable comments and suggestions on the draft of my thesis. I particularly appreciate their tolerance of my insistence on writing this thesis my way.

I also owe my sincere gratitude to my friends and my fellow classmates Yew Chiew Ping, Ang Ming Chee, and Andy Mickey Choong, who assisted me in adapting to life in Singapore, preparing for my qualifying exams and fieldworks, as well as lending a listening ear and helping me work out my problems during the difficult course of my study.

In the process of gathering and analyzing the relevant materials, I have been truly indebted to a number of scholars and friends at both Universities. Above all, I owe a substantial intellectual debt to Professor H. Arthur Steiner whose correct inspira­ tion and profound scholarship enriched my judgments on many diffi­ cult questions. At the early stage of this study I was very fortunate to receive valuable guidance from Professors Hans Baerwald, William P. Gerberding, David P. Mozingo, and Charles R. Nixon. I would also like to acknowledge the continuous encouragement of Professors Grant K. Goodman and Felix Moos and the kind coopera­ tion of Professor Thomas R.
