H:
slightly higher than the rate we got from last night
.
K: Then I lied to you.
H: When was the figure finally
?
K: If someone would explain to me the following
everyone plays
these games. Supposing we go to 16,000. That, over eight months, amounts
to only 12,000 more. If we just wanted to play numbers games we could do
that endlessly.
H: Of what significance is 14.3?
K: Just that that is the fastest responsible rate. We can either get
out quickly, that is completely, or we can go at the most responsible rate.
H: You said we could do 12,000 more.
K: But we can keep sayint that.
H: How did Thieu feel about it? A little nervouxs?
K: Yes. This is just about the limit that the traffic will bear
H: I see.
K
K: In our analysis of it.
H: Ahhhhh.
K: What did you call me about?
H: That.
K: You think I gave you the correct guidance?
H: I think you gave me superb guidance. The mood, the idea of coming
out of a searing experience with a measure of pride.
K: It just proves that sometimes I guess right.
H: When was the figure decided on?
K: It's a complicated problem. We didided the number of troops by the num-
ber of fire bases, and multiplied by the average number of hills in the Delta.
