NIXON'S PENTAGON PAPERS
B y Richard Damrshek
As I develop t h i s series on the Pentagon
papers, I am becoming more convinced
than
ever t h a t t h e i r importance 1i e s i n
their
r e v e l a t i o n of p o l i c y planning i n the
past
which we may use as a guide t o understanding
the present. P a r t i c u l a r l y important
in
adminit h i s respect i s the recent Nixon
s t r a t i o n announcement of secret peace neg o t i a t i o n s w i t h North Vietnam t h a t
were
conducted over the l a s t nine months by Henr y Kissinger and high ranking communists
representatives. This s i g n i f i c a n t announcement r a i s e s several major questions f o r
which knowledge o f the Pentagon papers provide possible answers. F i r s t o f a l l ,
why
was the announcement made? What could
the
U.S. gain from such announcement? and why
was the announcement made a t t h i s time(Jan.
25, 1972)?
I N THE PAST, ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE IN
THE PENTAGON PAPERS, SUCH ANNOUNCEMENTS OF
PEACE OFFENSIVES HAVE COINCIDED WITH A DECISION TO ESCALATE THE WAR. The purpose o f
the announcement o f the peace
offensive
o r plan i s t o say t o the world and
partic u l a r l y t o i n t e r n a l c r i t i c s o f our war pol i c y : "See, we're doing everything reasonable t o b r i n g t h i s war t o an honorable conclusion. Now i t ' s up t o the other s i d e t o
demonstrate i t s good f a i t h by accepting our
plan." However, 1ike the present announcement, the administration knows i n advance
t h a t i t i s proposing an unacceptable plan.
The l o g i c of such an operation may be seen
from t h e f o l 1owing exampl e.
On March 31, 1968, President Johnson made
a h i s t o r i c a l speech announcing a de-escalat i o n o f the war, s p e c i f i c a l l y by
imposing
s i g n i f i c a n t l i m i t s on our bombing o f North
Vietnam ( t h e speech a l s o announced h i s i n t e n t i o n n o t t o run again f o r
President).
What many d i d n o t n o t i c e i s the announcement
i n the same speech o f an increase i n
the
number o f our ground tropps by 13,500. What
only a few knew was t h a t .on the same day of
the speech Johnson authorized a
State ,Department cablegram t o United States Ambassadors i n countries d i r e c t l y supporting our
war e f f o r t (Australia, New Zealand,Thailand,
Laos, the P h i l l i p i n e s , and South Korea)
which explained t o them what they
were t o
t e l l t h e i r hosts were the r e a l reasons behind and i m p l i c a t i o n s of the speech.
The
cablegram read i n part:
a. You should c a l l a t t e n t i o n t o
force
increases t h a t would be announced a t the
same time and would make c l e a r our c o n t i nued resolve. Also top p r i o r i t y t o
reequipping ARVN forces.
b. YOU SHOULD MAKE CLEAR THAT HANOI
IS
MOST LIKELY TO DENOUNCE THE PROJECT AND
THUS FREE OUR HAND AFTER A SHORT PERIOD.

any major m i l i t a r y change could

next f o u r weeks o r so--which we
tentat i v e l y envisage as the maximum t e s t i n g
NOT
period i n any event. HENCE, WE ARE
GIVING UP ANYTHING REALLY SERIOUS IN THIS
TIME FRAME. Moreover, a i r power now used

exercises reciprocal r e s t r a i n t s , we
regard t h i s as u n l i k e l y .
To understand t h i s peace offensive as
a
to
guise f o r escalation, i t i s important
remember t h a t i t took place a f t e r the U.S.
and South Vietnamese forces had
suffered
stunning defeats i n the Tet offensive, l e s s
than two months ago. The Pentagon papers
reveals t h a t U.S. excalation has come only
i n response t o the t h r e a t o f collapse o f the
war e f f o r t and the consequent
destruction
o f the government o f South Vietnam. THE H I S TORY OF THE WAR I S ,QUITE SIMPLY THAT OF THE
U.S. HAVING TO SUPPLY GREATER AND GREATER
FORCE TO PREVENT THE COMMUNISTS FROM WINNING.
I n the present peace offensive, i t
was
ac l e a r t o the Nixon administration t h a t
nother Tet was l i k e l y . What b e t t e r way t o
prepare the world f o r the l a r g e s t
aerial
bombing campaign of the e n t i r e war than by
announcing a concerted e f f o r t for
peace?
KNOWING FULL WELL THAT HIS PEACE PLAN WAS
UNACCEPTABLE, THE PRESIDENT SOUGHT
TO ACHIEVE MAXIMUM PROPAGANDA ADVANTAGE AS
A
MAN OF PEACE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ASSENTI N G TO THE MOST VICIOUS INTENSIVE BOMBING
CAMPAIGN OF THE WAR.
One need only study the major p o i n t s o f
escalation o f our war e f f o r t t o
see t h a t
they coincide with, i f not the administrat i o n ' s announcement o f peace plans, i n t e n s i v e domestic and i n t e r n a t i o n a l pressure

f i r s t Marine Divisions i n Feb. 1965,the a i r
war o f t h a t and succeeding years, the Johnson speech i n March, 1968, and the most r e cent peace announcements by President Nixon.

Good Move
to Extend Fees
L a s t Thursday, the Sangamon State
Univ e r s i t y Assembly passed a proposal t o estab l i s h a university-wide a c t i v i t y fee. This
means t h a t a l l f a c u l t y and appointed s t a f f
members (as we1 1 as admi n i s t r a t o r s ) w i 11 now
have t o pay i n t o the fund previously supported only by student monies . C i v i l -service
employees a r e given the o p t i o n of paying
the fee, o r paying an admission fee
for
each a c t i v i t y .
As one student member o f the
Assembly
said, t h i s measure i s about "18
months
overdue." But f i n a l l y those who have a
voice i n how the monies a r e spent w i l l a l s o
be asked t o pay i n t o the fund.
As THE SPECTRUM noted i n a previous edit o r i a l , the present system was
"represenconsti
t a t i o n without taxation" ; c e r t a i n
tuencies i n the U n i v e r s i t y Community he1ped
make (and many tim'es made) p o l i c y as
how
funds were spent, funds t h a t o n l y students
were taxed t o provide.
The a c t i v i t i e s committee and Council
at
SSU has always made i t a p o i n t t o schedule
a c t i v i t i e s and entertainment f o r the e n t i r e
SSU community, and i t i s high time
that
non-students a l s o paid f o r t h i s service. I t
i s t o the c r e d i t of the s t a f f and faculty,
however, t h a t many non-students l e d the
movement t o tax themselves.
We now wonder how the administration of
these funds w i l l be affected.
In a
move
t o attempt t o solve the non-taxed represent a t i o n , students were given a c o n s t i t u t i o n a l m a j o r i t y on the board administering the
funds; now t h a t other groups pay i n t o
the
fund, w j l l the balance be changed?
We t h i n k t h a t any new apportionment would
be u n l i k e l y , and n o t q u i t e l o g i c a l .
For
while the two hundred o r so f a c u l t y
and
staff
p a r t i c i p a t i o n i s desirable from a
philosophical standpoint, the f a c t i s t h a t
the overwhelming m a j o r i t y o f the fund w i 11
s t i l l come from students (89%), and theref o r e the group providing the most
money
should continue t o have the most voice- i n
the consideration.

Bradley had been working as a

SSU's President Spencer wrote a

worst

has

The l e t t e r , and the rumors surrounding i t
however, have combined t o even f u r t h e r r e duc- i n many quarters the image o f a presi d e n t seeking t o r u n an "open and innovat i v e " university.
THINKING BACK: I f you t o t a l l e d the 'number
pub1i c
o f hours the LLCC Board spends i n
itsession and t h e amount o f time i t h i d
s e l f from p u b l i c s c r u t i n y i n executive sessions during the past two years, i t has to
f i g u r e out t o be bad news f o r t h e
publics

A rough estimate i s that, c h a r i t a b l y speaking, 25% o f t h e i r time o r m6re i s spent i n
the c l i c h e smoke f j l l e d room.
The s i t u a t i o n was h i g h l i g h t e d l a s t month
session
when the board c a l l e d a special

meeting then adjourned f o r two hours
behind closed doors. Part o f t h a t
closed
meeting heard a p i t c h f o r r e c o g n i t i o n fr'om
the custodians and teachers' unions, unsucc e s s f u l l y seeking college recognition. The
r e s t o f the meeting and several
executive
sessions before that, discussed the general
p o l i c y matter o f recognizing unions.
The
contempt some o f the board and administranot

was
shown when the decision was taken

Reflections in a jamdictd eye......
As noted in this column earlier the Community
Chest or United Fund or United Community Services
or whatever they're calling it this year is doing good
with a minority of its loot. Of over a million bux raised
this last putsch better than 60-70% will go for "administrative expense". And that's just the part which
they admit freely. We told you so a long time ago. And
we still prefer to give direct to the wino.
.. . .
Cinema Art Theater manager, Ladd Nelson
walked out of Magistrates Court a free man. Seems
that the State's Attorney thought that he didn't stand a
chance of winning and moved to dismiss rather than
lose the case. He keeps a pretty good record of convictions if he only tackles the cases he knows that he can
win.
Nelson says that they still don't have the film back
tho. They will have to appeal the "obscenity" ruling in
a higher court before the flick will be returned.
...
Sangamon State has picked its' new DOWNTOWN CAMPUS . . . The Leland Hotel, no less.. I
noticed that there was no mention of who would run
the soon to be goldmine-Red Lion Room. Presumably
that means that the owner of the Hotel will continue to
operate the bistro. With the average age of SSU's
student body at 27 he should have a gold mine.
I am sorry to see that the Abe Lincoln was not
chosen. With structural design of the Abe as it is, any
walls could have been knocked out to make bigger
rooms where required. Also the Uni~ersity~would
not
have to compete with the Illinois Commerce Commission for additional space.
...
Somebody was sadly misinformed dept: We got a
form letter from the head hancho of Citizens For
Decent Literature. They were viewing with alarm the
expansion of freedom of speech in the form of "exploitation" movie houses and "porno" book stores.
They are begging for contributions to fight all of this
so-called nastiness. I guess that they are worried that
soon there will be no more closets for them to hide in.
Everybody is making much ado about Nixon's trip
to Red China. Big deal . . . If he wants Chinese food let
him send out like the rest of the peasants have to do.

As usual Illinois' curb service weather has been
giving residents fits. The U.S. Weather Service with
their usual cop-out will not do more than give odds on
what our weather will be. Nice guys. The best way to
insure nasty weather is still to wash your car.
...
Hizzoner the Mayor sez that City Council doesn't
have enough time in its regular scheduled meetings to
cover all of its business. So, City Council will meet
earlier from now on. Thereby giving the Four
Horsemen more time to ride roughshod over the
.
o
m
citizenry.
I note that the Railroad Relocation Authority is
back to its maunderings. Too 'bad they don't do
something positive. Like set up a Terminal Railroad
Authority. The authority could build track around the
city with interchanges for all lines. That would get the
long mothering freights out of town and away from the
intersections. The Amtrack passenger service could
use the present facility of the GM & 0 as it is doing
now. Or a new station could be built in a different
location. Then, the Terminal Authority would take
over the existing track in the city limits and either purchase small deisel yard switchers or maybe a couple of
steam switchers converted to burn oil or propane. Or if
the Ecofreaks are too adamantly opposed to the
pollution ends of that proposal the Authority could
string trolley wire and operate electric box motors for
its freight service.
Actually, the electric idea would probably be the
more practical in the long run. And it would lend itself
to addition of rapid transit facilities and even streetcars (again). None of the lir.es would be so long as to
require auxiliary power stations and could be
branched off of in any number of places to provide
street-car tracks and turnarounds. There is certainly
plenty of prior science in the running of inner-city
electric lines.
Get with it Railroad Relocators. Talk is cheap.
which is all that we've had from you so far. Let's get
some action. Sure, you'll step on somebody's toes. But,
you knew the job was dangerous when you took it.

San Marcos , Texas (CPS)--The d i s c l o s we
t h a t Campus Security regularly takes
p i c t u r e s a t student gatherings f o r "identi f i c a t i o n " purposes has created a b r i s k
controversy a t South Western Texas S t a t e
University.
A l e t t e r appearinq i n the Uciversity
S
t
a
r
claimed t h a t Campus Police
-had recently placed an order with the
university news service f o r t h e p r i n t i n g
o f 200 photographs taken a t a November peace
rally.
B i l l y Birdwell, the student who p r i n t e d
t h e photos, s a i d t h a t it was a close estimate
to say t h a t t h e r e w e r e two hundred photos
printed. He s a i d t h a t he was t o l d t o p r i n t
them on 8 X 10 paper l a r g e enough t o see the
peoples' faces f o r i d e n t i f i c a t i o n purposes.
Ire s a i d t h a t i f anyone took p a r t i n the r a l l y ,
then they probably had t h e i r p i c t u r e s as
there were cameras shootinq from a l l angles.
Campus Security Chief 'Bill Maddox, an
ex-FBI agent, a t f i r s t denied t h a t any
photos had been taken: "What photos. "
Quickly dropping t h a t stance, Maddox expressed
anger t h a t h i s photo-taking p o l i c i e s had
been made public and s t a t e d t h a t next t i m e
it would not be found out.
Maddox w e n t on t o say, when asked
what was done with the p i c t u r e s , "I won't
t e l l you." Asked why two copies of each
p i c t u r e w e r e p r i n t e d and i f any had been
s e n t t o o t h e r p o l i c e agencies, he r e p l i e d
t h a t it was "For m e t o know and you t o f i n d
out. "
Student Senator B i l l Roe s a i d t h a t he
had t a l k e d to University President Jones
about the photos, and t h a t D r . Jones was not
aware of Chief Maddox's actions concerning
t h e pictures.
Among those photos t h a t Maddox had
p r i n t e d was t h a t of S t a t e Senator Joe Bernal.
Senator Bernal is Chairman of Federal Programs
and Relations; Vice-Chairman of Privileges
and Elections; and a member of the follodting
