General Note: Personnel with the Michigan State University Vietnam Advisory Group correspond with one another and with Vu Van Thai, Director General of Budget and Foreign Aid, from June to November, 1957. The correspondence begins following a request from Thai for help developing a new budget classification system for Vietnam. MSUG calls for a new accounting expert to study the system, to which one Gordon Potter of USOM responds, and they continue to correspond concerning the set-up of an advisory committee, who should compose it, and if such a committee is feasible. They also discuss what the project should entail and what progress has been made.
