I would raise the question. with some confidence. that there is more than a majority of the land mass in South Vietnam and. possibly. even a majority of the densely populated land mass which is not really secure for either ourselves or our South Vietnamese allies. An additional important question is. Who controls the population? This is a rather deceptive matter because of the huge number of refugees who have left the land and moved into the more densely populated areas. particularly Saigon. and have no visible means of support and. generally speaking. are on the South Vietnamese equivalent of relief. Nevertheless. I read from page 146 of the hearings where the Senator from Montana ask the question of Secretary McNamara: How much of the population does the Vietcong control?
