P:
That is fine.
HAK:
It is a recoverable situation but the one that has really be screwed
up is Cambodia and that is bad. Thieu (?) had it all set up - had
the enemy in position for a big battle (?) This new Commander is
SO undertain that he doesn't want to destroy the enemy's bases.
P:
By destroying the enemy is to be on top of them.
HAK:
As Laos winds down, more air power will be available for Cambodia.
P:
The weather is still not good for this strike but they are still
watching it. I told Vogt that no budgetary or any other kind of
restrant was to hold this up. As soon as the weather was clear
they were to hit it.
HAK:
On Thursday they told us there would be four more days of bad
weather. I talked to Vogt yesterday after you talked to him. They
have three carriers in position and are ready to go.
The military has thrown out the Turkish Prime Minister. They
threw him out. They are trying to form a new government. They
are friendly at least.
P:
On our side?
HAK:
Yes.
P:
What will be your next move with Mr. D?
HAK:
I am going to hand him a redraft of your letter. It takes out some
of the precise details about the dates of freeze
They can be
left for negotiation. It can be too complicated. Just SO we can get
the deadlock broken. We have to do it. There is no one in the
bureaucracy who defends the safeguard system except Laird. I am
seeing him on Monday at 4 o'clock.
P:
Is Haig going to Saigon?
HAK:
Yes, he leaves tomorrow night.
P:
Did you see Senator Jackson?
