Quan hệ đối ngoại của Hoa Kỳ, 1969–1976, Tập X, Việt Nam, tháng 1 năm 1973–tháng 7 năm 1975

255. Thông điệp từ Đại sứ Martin tại Việt Nam gửi cho Kissinger.

Sài Gòn, ngày 23 tháng 4 năm 1975, 0400Z.

729. Tham khảo: WH50745.

1. Vì ông Hương hoàn toàn không hay biết cho đến thứ Hai rằng mình đột nhiên trở thành Tổng thống, nên tôi không nghĩ ông ấy đã đưa ra bất kỳ quyết định chắc chắn nào về các vấn đề được nêu trong điện tín của ông. Chắc chắn, đường lối của ông ấy sẽ một phần bị chi phối bởi các ảnh hưởng và áp lực bên ngoài, nhiều trong số đó nằm ngoài khả năng kiểm soát của ông ấy.

2. Ấn tượng của tôi chắc chắn là, tính đến hôm nay, ý định của ông ấy là tiếp tục tại vị để tạo điều kiện thuận lợi cho các cuộc đàm phán dẫn đến một giải pháp.

3. Tôi nghĩ ông ấy thích làm việc với Hà Nội hơn, không loại trừ Trung cộng (PRG) làm đối tác, nhưng sẽ thích Chính phủ Hoa Kỳ (USG) hoặc Pháp hơn.

4. Tôi nghĩ rằng, dù ông ấy có ý định chọn ai đi chăng nữa, ông ấy hoàn toàn chấp nhận thực tế rằng người được chọn cuối cùng phải được Hà Nội chấp nhận.

5. Khó khăn hiện tại của ông ấy là thiết lập một kênh liên lạc đáng tin cậy với Hà Nội. Có lẽ sau khi gặp Đại sứ Pháp, tôi sẽ có cái nhìn rõ ràng hơn về những khả năng này.

255. Backchannel Message From the Ambassador to Vietnam (Martin) to the President’s Assistant for National Security Affairs (Kissinger)1

Saigon, April 23, 1975, 0400Z.

729. Ref: WH50745.2

1.

Since Huong had no inkling until Monday that he was suddenly to become President, I do not think he has come to any firm decisions on the questions raised in your cable. Necessarily, his course will be partly determined by outside influences and pressures, many of which will be beyond his ability to control.

2.

My impression is definitely that, as of today, his intention is to remain in office to facilitate negotiations leading to a solution.

3.

I think he would prefer to deal with Hanoi, would not rule out the PRG as an interlocutor, but would prefer the USG or France.

4.

I think that, whoever he may have in mind, he completely accepts the reality that the individual finally chosen must be acceptable to Hanoi.

5.

His difficulty now is arranging a dependable channel of communication with Hanoi. Perhaps after he sees the French Ambassador, I may have a clearer idea of what these possibilities are.

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.)
