sort of planning staff for the nse in 1970 and later on took over from dick who was running the indochina. professor smyser: can i say something general? when i look around the faces in this room and i see many faces that were not in washington alive and kicking in the 1970's. the mood of this country is so difficult to describe to anybody in that group because we were not fighting only the vietnamese, we were fighting the americans. "the new york times" would write lengthy editorials criticizing whatever it negotiating position we took. other newspapers would do the same. not all come some were quite positive. nonetheless, the campuses were literally hotbeds of resistance. i went to harvard after having been in the kissinger staff for a while and faculty told me they would never mention to anybody that i had been on the nse because i would be kicked off the campus. and so, it was that kind of mood that was absolutely poisonous and made a very, very difficult because no matter what we did there was always somebody who would criticize. and what you do when you are fighting a war and every

we got stuck in our quagmire in vietnam because we didn't help the french in indochina in the mid '50s. so it was kind of a mess and ike you did that what and so did nixon who was vice president at the time but the other one was in 1960 you to shoot down. we've been flying u2 high altitude reconnaissance aircraft for years and help dispel the missile gap that everyone thought we were suffering from that the soviets were added for some ballistic missile and bombers. the u2 photography dispelled all that and with some good information on where we were relative to the soviet weapons systems. and they were successful the one that was shot down in 1960 was the 24th mission over the soviet union. because antiaircraft and surface-to-air missiles couldn't get that high up to get the plane. and some of the imagery was just one, they would take off from southern neighbors of the soviet union to fly all the way and land in norway a one way trip up and over. they got lucky on that day when the soviets shot it down. that any government that the pilot had perished and the plane had disintegrated. we
