-3- R: I thought they told us they had seen a lot of activity there from the air. K: Dammit they told us -- when I got the briefing they told us that they had been moving people in. Had gone from 60 to 90 and that's what they told you. R: Yeah, they told us that there was some recent activity there. K: Well. R: It makes us look awful silly if we say we conducted a commando raid and the camp had been vacated two or three months ago. K: Well, we don't have to say anything. We can just say this didn't happen. I mean we can just say nothing -- no air attacks took place north of the 19th parallel. R: Yeah. K: Our concern is that if any of these guys blab when they come back -- afterall, there are sixty people involved. R: Yeah, Oh, it will be known in the camp -- we can't avoid that. Can't we say that the camp had been vacated but there were no casualties. K: Certainly. We found that the camp had been vacated and there were no casualties. We don't have to say how long ago. R: I think maybe that's the way to do it. I suppose we might as well say it first rather than have it dragged out of us tomorrow. K: That's the argument for it. Also, it would put us in a position of killing the notion that we attacked any of our PW camps by aircraft. R: Right. Okay. I think that's fine. K: Okay, Bill, maybe we will have a merry weekend. R: I'll say. Okay, Henry. feg
