Paul D. Harkins by sur prise despite warnings from his subordinates. The U.S. Military Assistance Command formally denied the report that Harkins had ignored warnings. It said the coup lead ers maintained strict secrecy un til the time of their attack. The sources said Harkins also sent a paragraph in a report to Washington from the military and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) here saying he did not believe a coup was imminent.
