As I'm SI..1I"e you can tell fran my ear tier remarlcs, what I found in Vietnam greatly encouraged me. Pres- ident Ni,.,;m's Vietnamization program, up to this point, has worked. There will be serre rough spots in the future. The enemy will continue to try to grab for headlines here in the U. S. by, possibly, overrunning a srrall village or blCMing up a OOilding in da.m.to..m. Saigon, roping that the .American people will lose their patience. In further efforts to discredit Vietnam- izatian, another major enemy offensive is expected sanetime this Spring or Fall, surrounding either the South Vietnamese House axrl Senate elections in April or the U.S. Congressiooal elections in November. I think we're on the right track in Vietnam if we can continue a reasonable, phased pull- chm. of our involvement, enabling the South Vietnarrese Government to take over the burden of the fighting.
