Three shadowy Vietnamese organizations controlled the pulse of the People's Republic of Kampuchea, as the new regime calls itself. The highest of these organizations was a body called A-40 composed o some experts from the Vietnamese party's Central Committee. They maintained liaison between the Cambodian and Vietnamese parties and offered advice on all key issues. Another group, called B-68, was headed by Tran Xuan Bach, a member of Vietnamese Party secretariat and consisted of midlevel Vietnamese experts attached to various Cambodian ministries and participating in day-to-day decision-making. A third group of advisers, A-50, consisted of experts who worked with provincial administration.
