FACT AND OPINION ON PROGRESS TOWARD A WORLD OF LAW AND ORDER
September 1, 1966
Mr. George Carver, Jr,
Central Intelligence Agency
Langley, Virginia
Dear Mr. Carver:
Since I have not heard from you since our conversation in
Washington, I assume that you have probably decided not to do either
one of the things we talked about in regard to Lacouture. Am I correct?
You may recall that we discussed another idea that perhaps would
be more seemly from your standpoint. This was to have a taped dis-
cussion of the post-1954 origins of the Viet.L'.am War and their relation
to the situation today. I would like to suggest that the tape be made with
yourself and Joseph Buttinger, whom you doubtless know by reputation
and who is about to have a two volume history of Vietnam published. He
has a differing interpretation of the post-1954 events than you. After the
discussion , which I would think would take from an hour to an hour and
a half, the tape would be transcribed, edited down, and submitted to both
of you for any changes that you wish to make. We would then publish the
results in an early issue.
I do hope you will be able to do this as I know that you agree that
the subject is a most important one and I would hope that this dialogue
would contribute to public information in this area.
Sincerely,
f5;; e
