South Vietnam reshapes government to curb military power
Six months after a closed newspaper and a bleak outlook editor Tom That Thien becomes information minister in a cabinet largely independent of the military.

President Thieu trims military clout and leans on civilian allies and the National Assembly to broaden governance.

South Vietnam Assembly as Check on Executives
American officials note the National Assembly in Saigon acts as an independent check on Thieu and Ky. It slashed a large budget, refused decree authority, and shows militancy against negotiating with the Vietcong while keeping focus on North Vietnam’s troop withdrawal. Peasant reform remains limited.
