Richard Nixon Addresses The "Decent Interval Theory"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q-H0281kfM

Transcript

In the Oval Office on August 3, 1972, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger tells President Richard Nixon that there’s a 50-50 chance of reaching a settlement with North Vietnam.

That deal would give Nixon a “decent interval,” a face-saving delay of a year or two between his final withdrawal of American troops and the Communists’ final takeover of South Vietnam. “We’ve got to find some formula that holds the thing together [for] a year or two, after which — after a year, Mr. President, Vietnam will be a backwater. If we settle it, say, this October, by January ’74 no one will give a damn.”

August 3, 1972

Richard M. Nixon, Henry A. Kissinger

Conversation: 760-006

Having established a framework for an armistice and the departure a American troops from Vietnam, President Nixon and National Security Adviser Henry A. Kissinger discussed the future trajectory of the war. Most importantly, they wanted to secure a “decent interval” between the removal of those troops, Nixon’s reelection in 1972 and the expected fall of Saigon. At this point in the conversation, Kissinger had just told Nixon they had a 50/50 chance of reaching a settlement with North Vietnam.

President Nixon: Now, let’s look at that just a moment again, think about it some more, but… let’s be perfectly… cold-blooded about it. If you look at it from the standpoint of our game… with the Soviets and the Chinese, from the standpoint of running this country… I think we could take, in my view, almost anything, frankly, that we can force on Nguyễn Văn Thiệu. Almost anything. I just come down to that. You know what I mean?

President Nixon: Because I have a feeling we would not be doing, like I feel about the Israel, I feel that in the long run we’re probably not doing them an in – a disfavor due to the fact that I feel that the North Vietnamese are so badly hurt that the South Vietnamese are probably going to do fairly well. [Kissinger attempts to interject.] But also due to the fact-because I look at the tide of history out there-South Vietnam probably is never going to survive anyway. I’m just being perfectly candid. I-

Henry A. Kissinger: In the pull-out area-

President Nixon: [Unclear] we’ve got to be – if we can get certain guarantees so that they aren’t… as you know, looking at the foreign policy process, though, I mean, you’ve got to be-we also have to realize, Henry, that winning an election is terribly important.

It’s terribly important this year. But can we have a viable foreign policy if a year from now or two years from now, North Vietnam gobbles up South Vietnam? That’s the real question.

Kissinger: If a year or two year from now North Vietnam gobbles up South Vietnam, we can have a viable foreign policy if it looks as if it’s the result of South Vietnamese incompetence.

Kissinger: If we now sell out in such a way that, say, within a three-to four-month period, we have pushed President Thieu over the brink-we-ourselves-I think, there is going to be -even the Chinese won’t like that. I mean, they’ll pay verbal-verbally, they’ll like it.

President Nixon: But it’ll worry them.

Kissinger: But it will worry everybody. And domestically in the long run it won’t help us all that much because our opponents will say we should’ve done it three years ago.

President Nixon: I know.

Kissinger: So we’ve got to find formula that holds the thing together a year or two, after which-after a year, Mr. President, Vietnam will be a backwater. If we settle it, this October, by January 74 no one will give a damn.

President Nixon: Yeah, having in mind the fact that, you know, as we all know, the-the analogy-comparison [to] Algeria is not on-I not at all for us. But on the other hand, nobody gives a goddamn about what happened to Algeria-

Kissinger: Mm-hmm.

President Nixon: -after they got out. [chuckling] You know what I mean? But Vietnam, I must say… Jesus, they’ve fought so long, dying, and now… I don’t know.

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.)
