The Vietcong certainly showed their hand. So this is an initiative which is critically important to our Nation. I am convinced. from having been in Vietnam. that our people there have left much too much to the Saigon government. a government which is not nearly so sensitive to the refugee problem as we are and does not begin to understand. as we do. its great significance. My second point is this: When I returned. I urged the President to appoint a special representative who would have a title analogous to that given to Averell Harriman in connection with the Marshall plan in 1948 and 1949.
