general hon and i, when we met in hanoi we talked for several hours. went to dinner together with some of his officers. and the general, historian, and now his boss who was a brigadier general during the battle. as strange as it may seem, general hon and i became friends. we were together for several days. hotel together, ate together. good interpreter. he was sick with a respiratory infection and i was, too, and i gave him some of my medicine. he got better and i got better. and we resolved after that trip back to the battlefield in 1993 in october of the attempt to get the vietnamese government to erect a obulist on the clearing at mannings zone x-ray which would say "on this field, november, 1965, u.s. army forces and people's army of vietnam, fought the first major battle of the american war. nothing else. not who kicked who whose ass. just the fact that there was a battle. and he was when he died the -- when he died the whole project collapsed. i've been back to the x-ray battlefield one other time after the 1993. i went back with 12 of my veteran

nixon specifically wrote in memos that heen i want a plan thursday morning to hit hanoi with 100 b-52 bombers. mr. nixon was constantly pushing and pushing for the most forceful option imaginable. this is the kind of thing you have to explain. it's not limited to vietnam for that matter. early in the nixon administration there was an american reconnaissance plane that was shot down off the north korean coast, an aircraft of the type called the ec-121. the immediate response that nixon ordered was an armed attack similar to what we did after the gulf of tonkan against north korea. i actually, with a colleague here from the nixon library did the oral history interview with former secretary of defense melvin laird a couple of years ago and in that interview mr. laird explained how he had to deconstruct this nixon order to go attack north korea. so the historian has to explain these kinds of purposes and actions and standard activities. plus i was struck this morning by the notion that was expressed on one of the panels that it was not proper to apply psycho history or it was somehow wron

washington's and hanoi's reasons for agreeing to a settlement conformed to an age-old pattern for ending deadline wars. decision makers finally decide that a compromise armistice will better serve their reduced aims, offer more hope of achieving their goals in the long run or at least lessen the heavy human material or political costs of a continued war. to help ensure the perception of success over failure, nixon, kissinger and their allies launched a public relations campaign that praised the 1973 agreement and later accused congress with responsibility for saigon's defeat in april 1975. i hope those who talk about the legacy in another session will discuss this issue, which i've written about and others have written about. another issue is the -- the nature of the nixon/kissinger relationship. histories of the '68 through '74 period ask whether one or the other was the architect of the administration's policy. some say nixon. some say kissinger. others including myself view their partnership as both a troubled relationship, that word again, complex relationship, in which nixon was mor

the communists are driven out of hanoi in the initial fighting. and then the communists withdraw into the mountainous region north of hanoi. in october of 1947, the french launched an extremely large operation called "operation lea." and they're trying to clean the communists out of this area. they hammer the communists really hard, but they have bases to fall back on and they have in some respects sanctuaries in china certainly to draw support from. in february of 1950, the head of the vietnamese communist military force, general jiap, he bien ffu opini. the north vietnamese, they fight with the french, they move from being a guerrilla army, a light, small guerrilla force to being a conventional force that's able to defeat a great power on the field. now, it's a very -- it's in many ways a very stunning achievement. the geneva courts in 1954 will and you see a massive transfer of populations from the north and the south. particularly catholics leaving north vietnam and going to south vietnam. now, the north vietnamese regime at this point will en

when we go back to vietnam, there were all kinds of reporters who did indeed go in to hanoi. everybody wanted to go there. why would a reporter say, "i won't cover that because i'm unhappy at what's happening there"? don't you have a higher duty as an american citizen to do all that you can to save the lives of soldiers rather than this journalistic ethic of reporting the fact? no, you don't have the higher duty to-- no, no. you're a reporter. your job is to cover what is going on in that war. people know that americans are getting killed in that war. lord knows it's a hypothetical. i'd get on the horn with peter and say, "what do you mean--" i think he's right. i chickened out. i played the hypothetical hard, but i think he's right. they've got the same problems that downs has. what's the problem, general scowcroft? the problem is the job as opposed to a higher cause. first of all, i think you're americans first, and you're journalists second, just as i think that downs-- sure, he's a unit commander, and he's got these terrible ethical problems. but we do live by the rules o

marx, engales, lennon hung in moscow during ike's time as did ho chi minh in hanoi. they are in effect an iron curtain. if this is how it symbolically strikes people could the cylindrical columns also be seen as missile silos. the number of holocaust survivors say it's reminiscent of internment. one survivor told me that the chain link quote/unquote fences reminded her of the camps. the proposed metal curtains tor provide a screen that would obscure the johnson department of education. we have been concerned and others would agree this could be seen as a symbolic affront to one of eisenhower's contemporaries, the majority leader of the senate during his presidency. we do not thing design team thought of these things in advance. frankly, nor did we for a while. but the public criticism does underscore the importance of context with respect to eisenhower's life and times. in addition, we're concerned the metal scrims will pose ongoing maintenance issues especially in the budget constrained times. any high wind would ensure leaves and trash could be caught in the gaps.

hanoi makes sure he has tight control. in 1961 they establish something called the central office of south vietnam, the cosvic. this is set up in cambodia. they do this to run the war in the south. it's basically their command to run the war in south vietnam. while they're doing this they divide the south into various districts to organize throughout the country, even down to the village level. in 1961 the north intensifies the military as well as the political struggle against the south. what they're hoping when they get into this, they think they can politicize the situation enough and make it violent enough where they can provoke a general uprising against the south vietnamese regime. one of the strands that runs through the north vietnamese military is they can create a situation of instability and terror in the south that is strong enough and indoctrinate enough people to get the spontaneous or provoked uprising, they never get it but they hope it will be part of it. other communist movements have the same type of vie

they benefitted from the fact that prince cianuk was pretty pliable and he apieced hanoi. the communists basically turned his country into a war zone as a result of it. they even eventually went to supporting the camarouge, the home grown cambodian communists. by the late 1960s the cam bonian port becomes critical for a communist supply effort in south vietnam. now in 1970 a general named la nau overthrows cuanau. his new government demanded that the communist leave. in three days. here you have the intervention of the communists, a really significant intervention. he provoked in many ways a civil war in cambodia that becomes pretty, pretty messy and lays the foundation for some disasters afterwards. the nixon administration at this point decides also to take the war to cambodia and hit the vc base yars here which is very effective and messes up a lot of the north vietnamese plans and delay some of their operations for a year. the north, real war, is still in south vietnam. the come mu niss during this period they say will they intensify their communist fight. they're stil
