TELECON
Mr. Kissinger/General Vogt
8:37 a. m. , April 8, 1972
K:
Johnny, I just want to talk once more. I just had the briefing
again, and I know what the President is going to ask. All of the targeting
in the north, or 98% of it, is on SAM's. We understanding your
concern over the SAM's, but we are after those damn supplies. That
is what is going to decide the battle.
V:
That is where we are going to hit.
K:
After 30 days, there will not be any bombing. We want to get
those God-damned supplies.
V:
You have my promise.
K:
The weather you can't do anything about.
V:
The weather is good in one spot. We will dump everything
in there. We will lay on a hell of a lot of strikes in concentrated form.
Just keep working on that Haiphong package for us.
K:
We will be working on that. But we need to get some of the
supplies. They were showing me maps of all the supplies stacked up
on the route to Laos. They must have supplies backing up the DMZ.
We are also very interested in these truck parks near Hanoi.
V:
They are real lucrative.
K:
Are they still there?
V:
There's been some reduction, but they are still there. We
want to eliminate the threat to Saigon SO Thieu won't get nervous.
We will work that over with massive air. I will increase the FANK
force in the area.
K:
Good. You have our backing. Come to us if you have trouble.
