Buddhists Back Ky Regime in Vietnam Crisis
In Saigon the Unified Buddhist Church accepted a civilian government in three to five months and endorsed Ky as caretaker leader. A communique urged calm in Hue and Da Nang, warned of action if promises were not kept, and aimed to persuade extremist Buddhist factions to halt anti-government protests. The move followed lengthy hierarchy sessions led by Thich Tri Quang and Thich Man Giao, with some leaders hopeful a civilian regime could be elected while others pressed for immediate change.
