WH42546. Please deliver following message from Secretary Kissinger to Special Advisor Le Duc Tho to your customer as soon as possible.

Begin text:

President Ford has asked me to call to your particular attention the following paragraphs from the address he delivered on August 12 to a Joint Session of the Congress and to the American people:2

Quote: Now, let there be no doubt or any misunderstanding anywhere, and I emphasize anywhere: there are no opportunities to exploit, should anyone desire. There will be no change of course, no relaxation of vigilance, no abandonment of the helm of our ship of state as the watch changes.

We stand by our commitments and we will live up to our responsibilities, in our formal alliances, in our friendships, and in our improving relations with potential adversaries.

On this, Americans are united and strong. Under my term of leadership, I hope we will become more united. I am certain America will remain strong.

To our allies and friends in Asia, I pledge a continuity in our support for their security, independence, and economic development. In Indochina, we are determined to see the observance of the Paris Agreement [Page 547] on Vietnam and the cease-fire and negotiated settlement in Laos. We hope to see an early compromise settlement in Cambodia.

End quote.

President Ford, as you must be aware, has been a firm supporter of President Nixon’s policy in Indochina for five and one-half years. In the spirit of mutual respect and candor which has always characterized our exchanges, Mr. Special Advisor, I must convey to you that President Ford is a man with a keen sense of American honor. He also shares the view, as we all do on the American side, that the DRV has a positive path open to it—of peaceful settlement, reconstruction, constructive ties with the United States and the Western world, and a truly independent role in world affairs. The President is ready to engage with you on this path. It is up to you.

Washington, ngày 19 tháng 8 năm 1412Z.

WH42546. Xin vui lòng chuyển thông điệp sau đây từ Ngoại trưởng Kissinger đến Cố vấn Đặc biệt Lê Đức Thọ đến quý khách của quý vị càng sớm càng tốt.

Bắt đầu văn bản:

Tổng thống Ford đã yêu cầu tôi đặc biệt lưu ý quý vị những đoạn sau đây trong bài phát biểu của ông vào ngày 12 tháng 8 trước Phiên họp chung của Quốc hội và nhân dân Hoa Kỳ:

Trích dẫn: Bây giờ, xin đừng để bất kỳ nghi ngờ hay hiểu lầm nào xảy ra ở bất cứ đâu, và tôi nhấn mạnh ở bất cứ đâu: không có cơ hội nào để khai thác, nếu có ai muốn. Sẽ không có sự thay đổi lộ trình, không có sự lơ là cảnh giác, không có sự từ bỏ vai trò chỉ huy con tàu quốc gia của chúng ta khi thay đổi ca trực.

Chúng tôi giữ vững các cam kết và sẽ thực hiện trách nhiệm của mình, trong các liên minh chính thức, trong các mối quan hệ hữu nghị, và trong việc cải thiện quan hệ với các đối thủ tiềm tàng.

Về điều này, người Mỹ đoàn kết và mạnh mẽ. Trong nhiệm kỳ lãnh đạo của tôi, tôi hy vọng chúng ta sẽ đoàn kết hơn nữa. Tôi tin chắc rằng nước Mỹ sẽ vẫn vững mạnh.

Đối với các đồng minh và bạn bè của chúng ta ở châu Á, tôi cam kết tiếp tục hỗ trợ cho an ninh, độc lập và phát triển kinh tế của họ. Tại Đông Dương, chúng tôi quyết tâm chứng kiến việc tuân thủ Hiệp định Paris [Trang 547] về Việt Nam và lệnh ngừng bắn cùng giải pháp đàm phán tại Lào. Chúng tôi hy vọng sẽ sớm thấy một giải pháp thỏa hiệp tại Campuchia.

Hết trích dẫn.

Tổng thống Ford, như ngài đã biết, đã luôn ủng hộ mạnh mẽ chính sách của Tổng thống Nixon về Đông Dương trong năm năm rưỡi qua. Với tinh thần tôn trọng lẫn nhau và thẳng thắn vốn luôn là đặc trưng trong các cuộc trao đổi của chúng ta, Thưa Ngài Cố vấn Đặc biệt, tôi xin chuyển lời đến ngài rằng Tổng thống Ford là một người có ý thức sâu sắc về danh dự của nước Mỹ. Ông cũng chia sẻ quan điểm, như tất cả chúng tôi ở phía Mỹ, rằng VNDCCH có một con đường tích cực mở ra cho mình—giải quyết hòa bình, tái thiết, xây dựng quan hệ với Hoa Kỳ và thế giới phương Tây, và một vai trò thực sự độc lập trong các vấn đề thế giới. Tổng thống sẵn sàng hợp tác với ngài trên con đường này. Điều đó tùy thuộc vào ngài.

Hết văn bản.

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.)
