III.
TALKING POINTS
1.
Recent Congressional cuts in Vietnam aid levels must
be discouraging to the South Vietnamese.
2.
Please give President Thieu my personal assurance that
this Administration will do everything possible to provide
adequate military and economic assistance to his country.
3.
I met with Congressional leaders yesterday morning,
and I am confident that they fully understand the importance
I attach to meeting our commitments in Vietnam.
4.
We will be working closely with Congress in the coming
months to get the best possible bills.
5.
How do you assess the present situation in Vietnam? What
are your main problems there?
6.
I understand that you have recently met with a number of
people on the Hill, as well as with newsmen and civic
leaders. Based on your impressions this trip, what
additional things can we do here to help you in Saigon?
