http://thewall-usa.com/Also, a story not well known : US ambassador to Thailand (since Nov 1, 1963 possibly Nov 3rd, but this can be verified..Diem's assassination was around this time too) was Graham A. Martin
whose adopted son, Glenn Dill Mann was KIA in aftermath of the Ia Drang Valley battles of Nov 1965. See
http://www.popasmoke.com/kia/incidents.php?incident_id=35This is important because of Amb. Martin's later actions as Nixon's appointed Amb. to Italy in 1969, and later as Nixon's appointed Amb. to South Vietnam in 1973. CIA man Frank Snepp's book "Decent Interval" incorrectly names the adopted son as Glenn Martin, as does "Fall of Saigon" author David Butler. (Note, Thailand was already beginning to set up the drugtrade since OSS legend William "Wild Bill" Donovan was an Amb. to Thailand in the early 1950s; the further importance of WHERE Amb. Martin serves ...Italy, and S.Vietnam, underscores this as also his prior State Dept service in France during the time the mob is clearing the Marseilles port for French IndoChina war materiel shipment-- see "MARTIN GRAHAM ANDERSON

Also, stolen papers...see "Saigon Embassy Files Kept by Ambassador
Graham Martin: Copies Made for the NSC, 1963-1975 (1976)" at
http://www.fordlibrarymuseum.gov/library/guides/Finding%20Aids/Saigon%20Embassy%20Files%20Kept%20by%20Ambassador%20Graham%20Martin.htm""In January 1978, the North Carolina State Police found a cache of classified documents in the trunk of a car that had been stolen from former U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam Graham A. Martin. They turned the documents over to the FBI. The documents were embassy files Martin had taken with him when he evacuated Saigon on April 29, 1975, just hours before the city fell to the Communists. The Justice Department, in considering prosecuting Martin for misuse of classified documents, sent copies of the files to the National Security Council for a damage assessment. The copies remained in NSC files until 1982, when the NSC determined that they should have been considered presidential papers and sent them to the Ford Library""
Later, Nixon tried to use forged cables to implicate JFK in the Diem assassination, see E. Howard Hunt and his Sept. 1971 'spicing up' of cables www.rense.com/general44/overthrow.htm
