...response to a leaflet distributed by the May 2nd committee on Mon., Feb. 8, contains several false assertions. To begin with, the committee's leaflet stated that "... Eisenhower remarks in his memoirs that there was no Southeast Asian expert he knew who was not certain Ho Chi Minh would have won a general national election." Mr. Overholt read this as "none of our experts were certain that Ho Chi Minh would have won." We refer him to page 372 of Mandate for Change...
...Splendid Significance." Next morning Kosygin flew on to Hanoi, and there the climate was warmer. Thousands turned out in welcome, and when Kosygin called on President Ho Chi Minh, the atmosphere was announced as "warm and friendly." Radio Hanoi gushed that the visit would be of "splendid significance," and in his arrival address Russia's Premier left little doubt why.

Eisenhowever is cited by the Committee as having stated that none of our experts were certain that Ho Ohi Minh would have won a general election.

Villigers la the likes were tortured brutality, and killed and the precis of them were left for terror. Everywhere the people were told that the land would be distributed to the peasants if the the Communists won. This land propaganda was, with other things, crucial...
...strikes appear much less unreasonable and dangerous than is implied by Secretary McNamara's "explanation;" they seem, in fact, nearly inconsequential. The United States cannot end the South's civil war by bombing North Viet Nam. It is academic to argue, as the Administration repeatedly has, that Ho Chi Minh "started" the rebellion. The rebellion now exists, and it will not disappear, even if North Viet Nam is methodically bombed into military impotence. And, though air strikes may win the Saigon government several days of peace, they can never win the regime political stability...
