ECRET

At the Cabinet meeting this morning the President
asked me to present the question of recognizing the
Governments of Laos, Cambodia and Viet Nam, and
this I did, giving the background and general appraisal
of the situation.
The President then asked for the opinion of each
member of the Cabinet. All members present believed
that the only possible course was to proceed with recog-
nition although they fully realized the hasards involved.
After considering the advice of the Cabinet, the
President directed me to proceed in accordance with
our recommendation to him.
