"(1963年)當我們在獄中聽到吳廷琰、吳廷瑈被暗殺的消息,我們兄弟二人告訴對方,無論如何南方都將落入共產之手。" [Năm 1963] ở trong tù nghe tin các ông Diệm-Nhu bị ám sát, anh em chúng tôi đã bảo nhau, thế nào miền Nam cũng mất vào tay cộng sản.
^Duncanson, Dennis J. Government and Revolution in Vietnam. New York: Oxford University Press, 1968. tr 223: "In the circumstances prevailing in 1955 and 1956 - anarchy of the Sects and of the retiring Viet Minh in the South, terror campaign of the land reform and resultant peasant uprising round Vinh in the North - it was only to be expected that voters would vote, out of fear of reprisals, in favour of the authorities under whom they found themselves; that the ICC had no hope of ensuring a truly free election at that time has been admitted since by the chief sponsor of the Final Declaration, Lord Avon.
