S~BJEC i Pacification in Binh Dinh. Province
I. lamer your recuest, we have taken a careful look at -,ac-`,cation
is t're i :n 3-n h Dinh, both i n terms of s current status and n o=
a:.a,yzin_g components thereof and trend, s therein over time. i am =ui
co-7ies of this analysis to our other colleagues on the Sullivan Comm --'z-;-
2. As I hope will be clear to any reader, the attache- anaalyaiS
does not in any sense whatsoever attempt to knocK down or aen-g=ate e~t.^:~ r
General Barnes' briefir_; or the accomplishments of the 173rd _ game
Under riffs command. rn fact, our analysis seems to me to pY ov-: e co nsicer-
able independent support for the thesis that the picture in Binh Di = h
brightened measurably during the period in which General Sa'r'r^ was
giving ,-acification a great deal of personal attention. Incildental.y, we
would very much like to have General Barnes come visit us on an informal
basis in the near future to talk to him ab out Binh Dinh, pacification and
rated matters.
