I believe that President Nixon had little choice but to make the decision he did to mine the harbors of North Vietnam and bomb their railroad and other supply lines. accompanied by his new and generous peace offer. North Vietnam is receiving abundant military equipment and supplies of all kinds from Russia. Unfortunately. the Russian tanks and many of their other weapons are superior to anything we have. South Vietnam is being overrun. and many thousands of refugees are being killed. A bloodbath such as occurred in North Vietnam when the Communists took over in 1954 is fast becoming a possibility. Unless this drastic action was taken. there might well have been a decisive defeat of South Vietnamese forces. endangering our troops and their withdrawal.
