164. Memorandum From William Smyser and Clinton Granger of the National Security Council Staff to the President’s Deputy Assistant for National Security Affairs (Scowcroft)1

Washington, January 18, 1975.

SUBJECT

Presidential Decisions on Recommendations from the January 7th, WSAG Meeting on Indochina

According to the attached talking points (Tab A)2 and summary of key points (Tab B)3 of the January 7th WSAG meeting,4 Secretary Kissinger intended to discuss the following measures with the President:

—Providing LSTs and mines to the RVNAF.
—Deploying the Coral Sea in the Gulf of Tonkin.
—Transferring six B–52s to Thailand, and
—Moving a squadron of F–4s to Clark.

We understand some decisions have been made but not implemented. There is currently a great deal of confusion within the bureaucracy about what we have already done and what we plan to do in the near future. We have been contacted and asked for guidance and clarification.

Since we are not clear ourselves on where these issues stand, will you please tell us the status of each of the following, as you understand it, and give us guidance on what we should do next?

—Provide six LSTs to the RVNAF, through AID or otherwise.5
—Provide destructor mines to the RVNAF. 6

 —Deploy the Coral Sea to the Gulf of Tonkin.7

 —Transfer six B–52s to Thailand, before or after the election.

 —Move a squadron of F–4s to Clark.

CHỦ ĐỀ

Các Quyết định của Tổng thống về các Khuyến nghị từ Cuộc họp WSAG ngày 7 tháng 1 về Đông Dương

Theo các điểm thảo luận đính kèm (Bảng A) và tóm tắt các điểm chính (Bảng B) của cuộc họp WSAG ngày 7 tháng 1, Ngoại trưởng Kissinger dự định thảo luận các biện pháp sau với Tổng thống:

Chúng tôi hiểu rằng một số quyết định đã được đưa ra nhưng chưa được thực hiện. Hiện tại, bộ máy hành chính đang rất bối rối về những gì chúng tôi đã làm và những gì chúng tôi dự định làm trong tương lai gần. Chúng tôi đã được liên lạc và yêu cầu hướng dẫn và làm rõ.

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.)
