 But for a time, it looked like we might have another nuclear incident on our hands. There's all this, Mr. President. I'm really not up to date on Southeast Asian. What is the story behind the... Well, what was your evaluation against that? I wanted to ask you to go into the office and I looked at you and you thought... I thought you said, damn, tired. You better go home. Do you want to go ahead? We started that breakfast, but I just didn't... I'm sorry. I would love to have come in. I think it shows two things, Mr. President. First, that they have more power than some credit them with. I don't think it's a last gasp action. I do think that it represents a maximum effort in the sense that they've poured on all of their assets. And my guess is that we will inflict very heavy losses on them both in terms of personnel and material. And this will set them back some, but that after they absorb the losses, they will remain a substantial force. I don't anticipate that we'll hit them so hard that they'll be knocked out for extended period or forced to drop way back in level of effort against us. I do think that it is such a well coordinated, such an obviously advanced planned operation that it probably relates to negotiations in some way. I would expect that were they successful here, they'd then move forward more forcefully on the negotiation front. And that thinking that they have a stronger position from which to bargain. I don't believe they're going to be successful. I think that in case on where we're going to have a real military engagement, I believe we'll deal them a heavy defeat. One of the other areas, it's largely a propaganda effort and publicity effort, and I think they'll gain that way. I mentioned our people across the country this morning. We'll feel that they're much stronger than they had previously anticipated they were. And in that sense, I think they gain. The question in my mind is how to respond to this. Is there anything we should be doing we're not doing? I've talked to the chiefs about some kind of a reciprocal action retaliation for their attack on our embassy or a retaliation for their attack across the country. There just isn't anything they have come up with that is worth a damn. They talk about an area bombing attack over Hanoi. The weather is terrible. You can't get in there with pinpoint targeting. The only way you could bomb it at all at present time is area bombing. I wouldn't recommend that to you under any circumstances. They just haven't been able to think of retaliation that means anything. My own feeling is that we ought to depend upon our ability to infect very heavy casualties on them as our proper response and as the message we give to our people.
