WH40353. Subject: Economic Assistance.

We have given very careful thought to your request for a $250 million supplemental. There is no question that such funding is needed to improve economic conditions rapidly. However, it does not appear that Congress would give such a request early favorable attention. The negative [Page 516] House vote on IDA replenishment this week indicates that Congress’ initial reaction to foreign aid in general is more negative than usual.

Pursuit of a major supplemental tends to block our options to make more limited—but critically needed—funds available during the next few months. Moreover, should consideration of a supplemental be delayed it might be lumped with our FY–75 request and we would lose next year any funds we gain this year.

We realize, however, that existing funding levels are too low to be manageable. Therefore I am instructing AID Director Parker to proceed with an additional $60 million loan during the next couple of months. We are also planning to seek a $54 million appropriations supplemental to bring FY–74 appropriations up to the full authorization amount. This will only have to go to two congressional committees instead of four for a higher supplemental. It will be submitted together with requests for supplemental funds from other agencies this spring.

It has not yet been decided exactly how these funds will be divided between Vietnam and Cambodia, where requirements have increased very sharply, but you should have about $450 million from the above actions plus the already appropriated funds and the earlier $50 million loan.

I fully recognize that these funding levels will create real problems in Vietnam. We would like to do better and I welcome any ideas you may have for additional actions. However, a major supplemental carries the risk that Congressional opposition—or even inaction—could be a major psychological defeat for our Indo-China policy. Secondly, we shall have to make every effort to get virtually our full $600 million request for FY–75. The above course of action allows us to concentrate our efforts on the Hill this spring on the FY–75 program. We shall need assistance from your mission in making the best possible case for FY–75 funds. I shall be involved directly in defending the request on the Hill.

I am sure you will find ways to make clear to the senior Vietnamese that we are doing everything we can to support their economy. This course of action may be less visible but it is more sure in delivering funds. You will want your people to work rapidly with AID/W so that announcement of the new loan will have maximum timely impact in improving economic confidence.

Warm regards.

WH40353. Chủ đề: Hỗ trợ Kinh tế.

Chúng tôi đã cân nhắc rất kỹ lưỡng yêu cầu của ông về khoản bổ sung 250 triệu đô la. Không còn nghi ngờ gì nữa, khoản tài trợ đó là cần thiết để cải thiện nhanh chóng tình hình kinh tế. Tuy nhiên, dường như Quốc hội sẽ không xem xét yêu cầu này một cách tích cực ngay từ đầu. Kết quả tiêu cực [Trang 516] cuộc bỏ phiếu của Hạ viện về việc bổ sung IDA-International Development Association (A financial institution that is part of the World Bank Group) trong tuần này cho thấy phản ứng ban đầu của Quốc hội đối với viện trợ nước ngoài nói chung là tiêu cực hơn bình thường.

Việc theo đuổi một khoản bổ sung lớn có xu hướng cản trở các lựa chọn của chúng tôi để cung cấp thêm nguồn ngân sách hạn chế hơn—nhưng rất cần thiết—trong vài tháng tới. Hơn nữa, nếu việc xem xét khoản bổ sung bị trì hoãn, nó có thể bị gộp chung với yêu cầu tài khóa năm 1975 của chúng tôi và chúng tôi sẽ mất bất kỳ khoản ngân sách nào được cấp trong năm nay vào năm sau.

Tuy nhiên, chúng tôi nhận thấy rằng mức ngân sách hiện tại quá thấp để có thể quản lý được. Do đó, tôi chỉ thị cho Giám đốc AID Parker tiến hành khoản vay bổ sung 60 triệu đô la trong vài tháng tới. Chúng tôi cũng đang lên kế hoạch xin khoản bổ sung 54 triệu đô la để nâng tổng số ngân sách năm tài chính 1974 lên mức được ủy quyền đầy đủ. Khoản bổ sung này sẽ chỉ phải được chuyển đến hai ủy ban quốc hội thay vì bốn ủy ban để có được khoản bổ sung cao hơn. Đề nghị này sẽ được đệ trình cùng với các yêu cầu xin ngân sách bổ sung từ các cơ quan khác vào mùa xuân này.

Vẫn chưa có quyết định chính xác về cách phân chia số tiền này giữa Việt Nam và Campuchia, nơi nhu cầu đã tăng rất mạnh, nhưng quý vị sẽ có khoảng 450 triệu đô la từ các yêu cầu trên cộng với số tiền đã được phân bổ và khoản vay 50 triệu đô la trước đó.

Tôi hoàn toàn nhận thức rằng mức tài trợ này sẽ tạo ra những vấn đề thực sự ở Việt Nam. Chúng tôi muốn làm tốt hơn nữa và tôi hoan nghênh mọi ý tưởng quý vị có thể đưa ra cho các việc làm bổ túc. Tuy nhiên, một khoản bổ sung lớn có nguy cơ từ sự phản đối của Quốc hội - hoặc thậm chí là không chuẩn thuận - có thể là một thất bại tâm lý lớn đối với chính sách Đông Dương của chúng ta. Thứ hai, chúng ta sẽ phải nỗ lực hết sức để có được gần như toàn bộ số tiền 600 triệu đô la được yêu cầu cho năm tài chính 75. Phương án hành động trên cho phép chúng ta tập trung nỗ lực vào Quốc hội mùa xuân này cho chương trình năm tài chính 75. Chúng tôi sẽ cần sự hỗ trợ từ phái đoàn của quý vị để đưa ra lập luận tốt nhất có thể cho các khoản tiền năm tài chính 75. Tôi sẽ trực tiếp tham gia bảo vệ yêu cầu này tại Quốc hội.

Tôi tin chắc rằng ông sẽ tìm cách làm rõ với người Việt Nam cao tuổi rằng chúng tôi đang làm mọi cách có thể để hỗ trợ nền kinh tế của họ. Hành động này có thể ít được chú ý nhưng lại chắc chắn hơn trong việc cung cấp vốn. Ông mong muốn nhân viên của mình nhanh chóng hợp tác với AID/W để việc công bố khoản vay mới sẽ kịp thời trong việc cải thiện niềm tin kinh tế.

Trân trọng.

Lesson in Vietnam from Kissinger to Nixon: “when we made it “our war” we would not let the South Vietnamese fight it; when it again became “their war”, we would not help them fight it.”

(We also had trouble with excesses here: when we made it “our war” we would not let the South Vietnamese fight it; when it again became “their war,” we would not help them fight it. Ironically, we prepared the South Vietnamese for main force warfare after 1954 (anticipating another Korean-type attack), and they faced a political war; they had prepared themselves for political warfare after 1973 only to be faced with a main force invasion 20 years after it had been expected.)
