K:
Do you think you can get to Woodard and Weyand?
H:
Yes, easily. Sure, I'll just send them a service message which they'll
get right away. Nobody else will see it.
K:
Now what is your view on the Laos bombing?
H:
Well, I think we're getting very close to where we're going to have to
do something dramatic, Henry, with this thing.
K:
Now the question is do we do it still while there are prisoners there or
right after?
H:
I'd be inclined to do it before. I feel your logic is not the softest logic.
If you do it before you've really conveyed the impression that god damn
it you mean business.
K:
Yeh.
H:
Although it'11 get more criticism, I don't think a helluva lot more.
K:
Well, that's my instinct. They might hold the prisoners but then we'll
just have to bomb them in the north.
H:
That's right. If they're going to do that, they're not going to do it based
on Laos bombing. Your being tough and promptly tough is invariably
what is needed.
K:
Yeh.
H:
Now I don't know what you've been conveying through the other channel
but I assume that you brought that about to the point where it's counter-
productive anymore.
K:
I don't think the others can intervene in day-to-day tactics.
H:
Yeh, no I mean even with our customer - the Hanoi people. You're still
using that other Paris channel?
K:
Oh yeh.
H:
But you've used that to the point where it's counter-productive.
K:
Well, I mean we've warned them and warned them and we can give them
a few more days.
