DEPTEL 243, also known as Telegram 243, the August 24 cable or most commonly Cable 243, was a high-profile message sent on August 24, 1963, by the United States Department of State to Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., the US ambassador to South Vietnam. The cable came in the wake of the midnight raids on August 21 by the regime of Ngô Đình Diệm against Buddhist pagodas across the country, in which hundreds were believed to have been killed. The raids were orchestrated by Diệm's brother Ngô Đình Nhu and precipitated a change in US policy. The cable declared that Washington would no longer tolerate Nhu remaining in a position of power and ordered Lodge to pressure Diệm to remove his brother. It said that if Diệm refused, the Americans would explore the possibility for alternative leadership in South V

- 243号电报(英語:Cable 243),是1963年8月24日時美国国务院发给美国驻越南共和国(南越)小亨利·卡波特·洛奇的一份态度鲜明的讯息,是引發1963年南越政變的關鍵因素。 电报的背景是8月21日午夜,信奉天主教的吴廷琰獨裁政权釀成了佛教徒危機,其中的查抄舍利寺事件中,数百名佛教徒据信已经被杀,造成佛教廣傳的南越,民情沸騰。这次查抄行动由吴廷琰的胞弟吴廷瑈所计划,因而猛然转变了美国政策。电报声称华府不再准备容忍吴廷瑈继续掌权,命令洛奇向吴廷琰施加压力,撤换吴廷瑈。如果吴廷琰拒绝,美国政府将為南越寻找一位新的领导人。这份电报授权洛奇,如果吴廷琰不愿撤换吴廷瑈,就同意南越軍將領们,发动政变,取代吴廷琰。 这份电报标志着美国與吴廷琰关系的转折点,也使得美國對事後由南越軍推翻吳廷琰政權的1963年政變不予阻止,最終導致吳廷琰被暗殺。历史学家约翰纽曼称其是“越南战争中最具争议性的一份电报”。 (zh)

- DEPTEL 243, also known as Telegram 243, the August 24 cable or most commonly Cable 243, was a high-profile message sent on August 24, 1963, by the United States Department of State to Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr., the US ambassador to South Vietnam.

The raids were orchestrated by Diệm's brother Ngô Đình Nhu and precipitated a change in US policy. The cable declared that Washington would no longer tolerate Nhu remaining in a position of power and ordered Lodge to pressure Diệm to remove his brother. It said that if Diệm refused, the Americans would explore the possibility for alternative leadership in South Vietnam. In effect, the cable authorized Lodge to give the green light to Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) officers to launch a coup against Diệm if he did not willingly remove Nhu from power. The cable marked a turning point in US-Diem relations and was described in the Pentagon Papers as "controversial." The historian John M. Newman described it as "the single most controversial cable of the Vietnam War." The cable also highlighted an internal split in the Kennedy administration, with anti-Diệm officials in the State Department prevailing over generals and Department of Defense officials who remained optimistic that the Vietnam War was proceeding well under Diệm. That was underlined by the manner in which the cable was prepared before it was transmitted to Lodge. (en)

Pesan tersebut menyatakan bahwa jika Diem menolak, pihak Amerika akan mengeluarkan kemungkinan untuk kepemimpinan alternatif di Vietnam Selatan. Dampaknya, kabel tersebut memerintahkan Lodge untuk memberi lampu hijau kepada para perwira Tentara Republik Vietnam (ARVN) untuk meluncurkan sebuah kudeta melawan Diem jika ia tak mengkehendaki pelengseran Nhu. Kabel tersebut menandai titik baik hubungan AS dengan Diem dan disebut "kontroversial" oleh Pentagon Papers. Sejarawan John W. Newman menyebutnya "kabel paling kontroversial tunggal dari Perang Vietnam". Kabel tersebut juga menyoroti perpecahan internal dalam pemerintahan Kennedy, dengan para pejabat anti-Diem dalam Departemen Negara menyangkali para jenderal dan pejabat yang masih optimistik bahwa Perang Vietnam berjalan lancar di bawah Diem. Ini digarisbawahi dalam hal dimana kabel tersebut disiapkan sebelum ditransmisikan ke Lodge. (in)
