senator kennedy
gone otherwise I am reluctant to make any statement which may be
misinterpreted as
unappreciative the gallant French from bien bien phu and elsewhere
the speech is a president eisenhower secretary dollars and others have left
too much and said
for a few American people are for the fourth time in this century to travel
the long and tortuous road to war
particularly a war which we now realize would
threaten the survival up civilizations then I believe we have a right to
inquire in detail into the nature of the struggle
which we may become engaged certainly I for one favor a policy of the United
action by many nations
whenever necessary to achieve a military and political victory for the free world
in that area
realizing full well that it may require some commitment of manpower
for money material in man into the jungles addenda China without at least
remote prospect a victory would be dangerously feudal
and self-destructive course all discussions and United action assume the
inevitability of such victory
such assumptions are not unlike similar predictions have confidence which Apple
all the american people for many years
I am frankly have the belief that normative American military assistance
in indochina
and conquer an enemy which is everywhere and at the same time Norway
an Enemy of the People which has the sympathy and covert support of the
people
if the French persist in their refusal to grant the legitimate independence and
freedom
desired but the people to be associated States
and if those peoples in the other people surveyed who remain aloof from the
conflict as they have in the past
then it is my hope that secretary dollars for recognized the futility of
channeling American man
and machines into that hopeless struggle I think that yeah
we should have been twisted no for five years ago that the French get out a
French Indochina intimidate the native government to step up the
that up is needed in Indonesia in the case the Dutch military action in
indochina
French regulars land along the coast in such a problem communist bad France's
represents a tremendous sacrifices manpower and financial resources
without american help the burden would be great
I think perhaps if we go over the map here I can indicate to you
why it is so vitally important here's indochine
indochina falls Thailand
is put in almost impossible position nixon becoming the first black boxes
were warned the domino effect of communist aggression
that indicates to you and to all others why it is vitally important
that indochina not goal behind

place called the NBN full

massive we supply operation fails to tip the balance
nixon is one of the first to favor military intervention
but President Eisenhower won't commit troops to a ground war in Asia
nixon supports the use of tactical nuclear weapons

seeking its independent a friend colonel Fletcher Prouty
at the time on the kennedy assassination I was the chief
special operations in the joint staff working for the Joint Chiefs of Staff
special operations in those days was a euphemism
for the military support the clandestine operations of CIA
around the world Prouty was an insider who claimed that while some in the
pentagon we're gearing up for war
he was secretly helping President Kennedy plan for peace
during the summer July August and September
he had a very experienced group of people
work on his new policy for vietnam
it was published in October and it was called the national security action
memorandum
number 263 and that memorandum
sign under the direction the president was to bring men home by Christmas and
get everybody out by 1965
we're looking at here approximately 15,000 pages of documents
on kennedy's vietnam policies that i've collected from all the archives
in the United States in some cases and many other more newly declassified
in a new book JFK and Vietnam
military historian Major John Neumann offers his conclusions about Kennedy's
vietnam policy
I don't think there's any doubt JFK
was pulling out of vietnam when he
when he was killed and I think because the most fundamental tenet of his policy
was no combat troops
and we know that Johnson put in combat troops I feel it's safe to say that the
assassination
led directly to the escalation of the war that policy change
