Daily Question:

"Unlike some anticommunists...I have always believed that we can and must communicate and, when possible, negotiate with Communist nations...There were, however a few things in our favor. The most important and interesting was the Soviet split with China...It was often said that the key to a Vietnam settlement lay in Moscow and Peking rather than in Hanoi...Aside from wanting to keep Hanoi from going over to Peking, Moscow had little stake in the outcome of the North Vietnamese cause, especially as it increasingly worked against Moscow's own major interests vis-a-vis the United State. While I understood that the Soviets were not entirely free agents where their support for North Vietnam was concerned, I nonetheless planned to bring maximum pressure to bear on them in this area"
