Mr. Kissinger/Rick Smith
7:05 p. m., , February 23, 1971
S:
914
Route 223 further west but more vulnerable to (reading)
K:
Yeah, but 920 -- I haven't got it right in front of me.
S:
Am I going to be misleading people?
K:
I don't think -- you won't be radically misleading.
S:
How about the former
K:
It depends what period you were talking about. It is not high.
Certainly reduced but we have to wait.
S:
From the week immediately before the operation.
K:
The week after the operation.
S:
They went like bloodly crazy.
K:
I would think it would be reduced from the period before. I am
in the process of analyzing this but will be in a better position
later. If you were talking about direct traffic, it has been
reduced.
back and forth on the routes has not been
reduced.
S:
Well, do you have a feeling at this stage -- do you know whether
or not this will affect the American withdrawals?
K:
Much too early.
S:
The first setback, would that
?
K:
Westmoreland's 200,000.
S:
I am still being attacked for disclosing that. Why the bombing? ???
K:
No, but that was really the missile sites.
S:
No supply depots, corollary targets?
K:
Only if they are closely associated with the SAMs.
S:
In the same category -- in other words they were not supply targets.
