TelCon - May 14, 1972
The President - 9:20-9:45
Pres: Hello Henry, how are you?
HAK: I'm fine, Mr. President.
Pres: Raining down there.
HAK: Yes, it is.
Pres: What is the situation this morning?
HAK: Well, it looks pretty good this morning. The attacks in An Loc are
fairly low.
Pres: But we're not discontinuing with our air strikes?
HAK: No.
Pres: It's a pause.
HAK: That's right. We had over 200 tactical air in there yesterday.
Pres: Where did they use the B-52's?
HAK: They used almost all of the 52's in the Hue area.
Pres: The little blocking operation got quite a play.
HAK: Well, it was very successful. It came as a complete surprise.
They claim 243 enemy killed, 123 weapons captured, 3 tanks destroyed,
and 2 130mm guns captured.
Pres: Now are they back ?
HAK: Yes.
Pres: So it was just sort of a very small action apparently?
HAK: Well, accept that it had a psychological effect. And in that limited
area it had a spoiling impact.
Pres: Will is encourage them to do more of them
HAK: I think SO.
