Special List 60. Washington: National Archives and Records Administration, 1993. 9 pp., accompanied by six microfiche. The CDEC was established in 1966 as the main repository of captured enemy documents in Vietnam.

This pamphlet and the associated microfiche contain a description and index of the microfilmed CDEC collection.
        (At least thousandss, and I think by now probably tens of thousands, of the captured documents, document summaries, and prisoner interrogation reports in the CDEC collection have been placed on-line in the Virtual Vietnam Archive of the Vietnam Project, at Texas Tech University; for direct links to a few of these see The Combined Document Exploitation Center.)

Thomas L. Ahern, Jr., after retiring from the CIA's Operations Directorate, went to work for the agency as a contract historian, writing a series of classified histories of CIA activities during the Second Indochina War. These have been declassified (more or less sanitized) as a result of Freedom of Information Act requests filed by historian John Prados, and placed online by the National Security Archive at George Washington University.

Gregory W. Pedlow and Donald E. Welzenbach, The CIA and the U-2 Program, 1954-1974. Langley: Center for the Study of Intelligence, 1998. Originally a classified publication, and large sections have been censored out of the version that has been released to the public. But the released version contains in Chapter 5 a moderate amount of information on U-2 operations in Asia (beginning on page 215) and Indochina in particular (beginning on page 221).

Declassified National Intelligence Estimates on the Soviet Union and International Communism, 1946-1984. This does not give the actual texts of the National Intelligence Estimates and Special National Intelligence Estimates; it is simply a list, giving the title, NIE or SNIE number, and date of the NIEs and SNIEs that have been declassified in whole or in part, and stating how many pages have been wholly or partially declassified. There is a moderate amount of Vietnam-related material. This list is now available on the Internet, at the web site of the CIA's Electronic Reading Room. This list was originally released in 1996; it is not clear whether the version now on the web site has been updated since then. The web site gives the address from which you can order, by mail, photocopies of the actual texts of the NIEs and SNIEs.

Studies in Intelligence. Journal published by the CIA's Center for the Study of Intelligence. Some articles are classified and some unclassified. Since the 1990s, unclassified articles have been gathered together in whole unclassified issues of this journal. The unclassified issues, and all or most of the unclassified articles from other issues since 1994, are available online. For links, go to the Studies in Intelligence web page. Some much older unclassified or declassified articles are also online. The CIA recently reorganized its web pages, invalidating most of the links below, but I am sure those articles are still available in new locations.

M. H. Schiattareggia (pseud.), "Counterintelligence in Counterguerrilla Operations,"," originally published in Studies in Intelligence 6:3 (Summer 1962), pp. 1-24, reprinted in 57:2 (June 2013), pp. 39-63. The lack of any reference to the fact that guerrilla warfare was currently going on in Vietnam, and the statement that, "It is unlikely that U.S. forces will themselves ever be doing the counter-guerrilla job in any country," look a bit odd.

One of the three estimates was NIE 53-63, "Prospects in South Vietnam," 4/17/63, which had been realistically pessimistic in its original draft, but was watered dwon by the time it was finally approved.

Edward K. Stockinger, "Five Weeks at Phalane", 17:1 (1973), pp. 11-19 (sanitized). Muang Phalane was in southern Laos, on Route 9 about halfway from Savannakhet to Tchepone. PAVN forces drove out the Royal Lao Army at the beginning of 1971. An ethnically Lao force, two battalions of Groupement Mobile 30, retook the town on March 24, 1971, and held it until May 4. Both sides suffered considerable casualties.

Various sources state that this was published either in issue 17:1 (Spring 1973) or 17:3 (Fall 1973), pp. 1-7.

Many declassified CIA documents have been published on microfilm. See
