Furthermore. it is my belief that calendar deadlines work to our detriment and work against us in negotiating for any settlement. I believe that our goal is the total withdrawal of our military forces at the earliest possible date but also such withdrawal must be coupled with the humanitarian considerations that are also so vitally important. We must be assured of the safe release of our prisoners of war. asylum and humanitarian care for refugees. as well as insurance for the security of the residents of South Vietnam. who have been engaged with us in the conflict against the Vietcong. Despite all the rhetoric and talk by some. especially those in the Senate. the Congress has never truly acted in giving any policy directions. but rather it has pounded the drums solely for a unilateral withdrawal policy. which in my opinion has not only been political but it has also helped the enemy. In fact. most socalled antiwar Members of Congress did not even do this until President Nixon began troop withdrawals on his own.
