Bản ghi nhớ của ông Heath gửi ông Smith.

Mật

[Geneva,] ngày 16 tháng 5 năm 1954.

Chủ đề:

Yêu cầu của Pháp liên quan đến chuyến đi gặp Bảo Đại của ngài.

Sáng nay, Đại sứ Chauvel đã cho một thành viên của Phái đoàn Hoa Kỳ xem điện tín từ Cao ủy Pháp Dejean tại Sài Gòn.

Bức điện tín chủ yếu đề cập đến phản ứng rất bất lợi đối với những phát biểu của Ngoại trưởng trong cuộc họp báo ngày 11 tháng 5, trong đó ông cho rằng Đông Dương không phải là không thể thiếu đối với việc phòng thủ Đông Nam Á. Dejean cảm thấy rằng tuyên bố này đã phá hủy con át chủ bài cuối cùng của Pháp và Việt Nam tại Geneva: mối đe dọa can thiệp của Mỹ vào Đông Dương. Cảm giác này càng được củng cố bởi thực tế là Ngoại trưởng Wilson, Tướng Van FleetTướng Hull không có kế hoạch đến thăm Đông Dương trong các chuyến công du khu vực của họ. Tuy nhiên, Dejean hiểu rằng Ngoại trưởng Wilson hiện có ý định dừng chân tại Đông Dương.

Nhằm giảm bớt phản ứng trước những phát biểu của Bộ trưởng, Đại sứ Chauvel (tôi hiểu là thay mặt ông Bidault) đã hỏi liệu ông có thể nói với Bảo Đại rằng lập trường của Hoa Kỳ về Đông Dương không thay đổi, rằng chúng tôi vẫn coi đây là chìa khóa để phòng thủ Đông Nam Á, và chúng tôi không để nó rơi vào tay Cộng sản.

Đại sứ Chauvel cũng nói rằng ông Bidault đồng ý rằng Bảo Đại không nên quay lại Việt Nam trong một tuần hoặc mười ngày, vì sự vắng mặt của ông ấy sẽ làm tê liệt phái đoàn Việt Nam. Ông Bidault cảm thấy [Trang 822] Thủ tướng Bửu Lộc của Việt Nam nên trở về Sài Gòn ngay lập tức.

Memorandum by the Special Adviser to the United States Delegation (Heath) to the Head of the Delegation (Smith)1

secret

[Geneva,] May 16, 1954.

Subject:

  • French request concerning your visit to Bao Dai.

Ambassador Chauvel this morning showed a member of the U.S. Delegation a telegram from French Commissioner General Dejean in Saigon.

The telegram was concerned principally with the very bad reaction to the Secretary’s press conference remarks on May 11 to the effect that Indochina was not indispensable to the defense of Southeast Asia.2 Dejean felt that this statement had destroyed the last French–Vietnamese trump at Geneva: the threat of U.S. intervention in Indochina. This feeling was strengthened by the fact that Secretary Wilson, General Van Fleet, and General Hull were not planning to visit Indochina during their tours of the area. However, Dejean understands that Secretary Wilson now intends to stop in Indochina.

With a view toward lessening the reaction to the Secretary’s remarks, Ambassador Chauvel (speaking, I understand for Bidault) asked if you could tell Bao Dai that the U.S. position on Indochina has not changed, that we still consider it the key to defense of Southeast Asia, and that we are not planning to let it go to the Communists.

Ambassador Chauvel also said that M. Bidault agreed that Bao Dai should not go back to Viet-Nam for a week or ten days, since his absence would paralyze the Vietnamese Delegation. M. Bidault does feel [Page 822] that Vietnamese Prime Minister Buu Loc should return to Saigon immediately.
