Kissinger and the Amnesty/Defection Problem
:ger went to Vietnam with McNamara to look into the Amnesty question
he possibility of splitting the NLF/VC. He brought uplIwitl;
t and is obviously witting. (This was news to me.) He told Hart
man wants to force the GVN to negotiate with the Viet Con; -- a course
J..Wsi;.ger labels (accurately) as "disasterous." Kissinger felt he could
G;;ave off this folly for a few months (eight or nine at moot), but to do so
Would have to be able to argue, convincingly, that the U. S. mission was
l.i g effectively on splitting the opposition. I will check on Kissinger's
. i -'and degree of knowledgability (via Cooper and Unger) and give Hart
4:3 ckground fill-in he requests and obviously needs.
