Maybe I mis-remember, but I thought that our objective was to insure the ongoing
vitality of an anti-communist government in the southern part of Viet Nam which
would, by its existence, prevent the spread of the communist form of government
elsewhere in SEA.

Interesting, sounds like a political statement, but I don't remember
seeing it anywhere before - could you provide a name, or document where
that statement originated as a U.S. objective - I would be interested in
some background on its creation.
