H: Can I arrive at the formula for a deadline by the same way?
K: No, we've got a formula for that but it's different.
H: When did you arrive at the figures sir?
K: Over the weekend.
H: What went into it -- you talked about painstaking analysis.
K: I gave you the analysis.
H: You mean by analysis your best judgment of the impact of the Laotian
operation?
K: And the capabilities of the enemy over the next year or year and a half. OK
H: No, not okay. Have you got another two minutes?
K: Yes.
H: Ab what extent was it a response to the Calley thing?
K: None whatsoever. Not even related.
H: He does allude to it.
K: No, the basic outline existed before. The only thing that could have
been affected was his affirmation of confidence in the soldiers. This second
paragraph was perhaps more prominent than it would have been otherwise. But
that will be judicially determined. What was more on his mind is the argument
that the war itself is an atrocity.
H: But the basic outline of the speech existed before Calley?
K: Yes.
H: It was understated, firm. You didn't know he would talk about Taylor?
K: No. I knew he would do something a couple of hours before in general,
but I didn't know the actual words.
H: Okay. The Pentagon is somewhat surprised at/the low figure.
