1 self-sufficient. We have, at last
count, about 1,300 employees
of the Agency for International
Development (AID) in Vietnam.
About one-third of these are out
in the villages and hamlets
teaching the Vietnamese people
the way to a better life.
Our military personnel are
also deeply involved in this
effort. During those times when
they are not engaged in mill- 1
tary operations against the en- ,
emy, they are performing all
sorts of helpful activities for
the citizens of South Vietnam.
I will quote just a very few
statistics to give some idea of
the scope of the civic and per-
sonal assistance we are now
providing in South Vietnam.
Once security is restored to
an area, a specially trained
cadre of village workers, train-
ed and supported by AID moves
into the area with development
programs. Approximately 30,
000 such cadre members are
working throughout the pro-
vinces in programs designed
to develop better living con-
ditions and to prepare the peo-
ple for democratic participation
in their government.
AID provides specialized
technical and engineering train-
ing, planning assistance and
commodities. The major thrust,
however, comes, and must '
come, from the Vietnamese;
government and the Vietnamese ;
people. In the first six months |
of 1966 alone, the Vietnamese i
people contributed some 235, ;
000 man-days of labor and 6 !
million piasters (Vietnamese :
currency) to complete 1,252 .
“self-help” projects such as
classrooms, bridges, wells, !
fish and rice drying platforms
and road repair.
Primary and secondary!
school enrollment has increas- |
ed fivefold since 1954, and near-
ly 9,000 classrooms have been
built under the hamlet school^
and “self-help”school build-
ing program. We are now sup- ,
porting 42 provincial medical'
teams involving 665 personnel |
to care for Vietnamese civilian ■
sick and war-wounded. Six aux- I
iliary nursing schools have re- I
cently been completed. Over I
1,250 dispensaries have been I
constructed, over 4,000 village J
or hamlet health stations are
in operation, a program of re-
fuse removal has been insti-
tuted in many areas, and more
than 12 million persons have j

Congress
By GRAHAM PURCELL
Representative, 13th DIst.
Some recent statements and
unfounded charges made in con-
nection with this Nation’s pol-
icy in Vietnam concern me
deeply. I feel, as a public of-
ficial with national responsi-
bility, that I must do what
I can to clarify some of our
actions and policies in this
Southeast Asian conflict.
I was in Vietnam in Decem-
ber. While I was there, I talked
at length with our military com-
mander, General Westmore-
land, with my good friend Am-
bassador Henry Cabot Lodge,
with whom I served in Italy
during World War II, and with
the many other American lead-
ers in Vietnam, including Gen-
eral Hollingsworth from San-
ger, Texas. I also visited with
enlisted men and I talked with
civilian personnel as I visited
outposts where our aid pro-
grams are in operation. I tried
to learn as much as possible
about the feelings of our people
in Vietnam, since they are in
the best position to judge the
effectiveness of our actions. I
also tried to learn what we
are doing, as well as how and
why we are doing it.
Of course, the limited space
here will not permit a full
discussion of all the aspects
of this complicated situation.
I will not take the time to go
into much background of how
we got there. The primary
point is that, as a result of
the actions of three Adminis-
trations of both political par-
ties, we find ourselves in
Vietnam with a commitment to
protect the integrity of .South
Vietnam and to prevent a take-
over by the aggressors from the
North.
The struggle in Vietnam, ad-
mittedly, is not an easy one for
Americans to understand. We
are working with people who
have never known freedom as
we know it, who have never
had a decent standard of living,
and who have never had an op-
portunity to govern themselves.
Our policy in Vietnam today
is facing attack from two dir- i
ections. First, there is the at-
tack by those who say we should
not be there in the first place,
that we should pull out and
surrender South Vietnam to the
communists. Secondly, there
are those who say we are not
doing enough, that we should
employ all means, including
nuclear weapons, to destroy
north Vietnam. Some even go
so far as to say that we should I
initiate a preventive war against
Red China.
I do not believe either of I
these purposes serves our na-
tional interests. This is not
the kind of war which can be
successfully fought with the me-
thods we used in past wars.
Both the physical and political
problems of
that it must
tially in the
pursuing.
I have, in the past, supported
some stronger military action
in some areas. ‘For example,
1 have expressed my objections
to the periods of truce to which
we have agreed in the past.
Without bringing the conflict any
closer to being resolved, they
serve a useful purpose to the
enemy by allowing him to re-
group and obtain additional sup-
plies. However, I cannot agree
with those who wish to escalate
the conflict to extreme pro-
portions.
To show the ridiculous ex-
tent to which some groups have
gone to try to find something
“wrong” with our Vietnam pol-
icy, there have even been
charges that our troups in Viet-
nam are controlled by United
Nations’ personnel who are
themselves communists.
I can assure anyone that the
decisions on our military ac-
tions and policies are being
made by the President of the
United States. His decisions
are being carried out in the
field.
We are not running the South
Vietnamese Army or the gov-
ernment of that nation. We are
not making their military de-
cisions, nor are we attempt-
ing to do so. We are in Viet-
nam to assist the people of South
Vietnam to gain effective con-
trol over their nation and to
set up a government which is
answerable to the people of
South Vietnam. Our only fur-
ther purpose in this conflict
is to demonstrate to all who
would use aggression to gain
control of other nations that
their efforts will fail.
At least as important as our
military operations in attaining
our overall goals in South
Vietnam is our program of
civil action. By civil action,
I mean those programs which
are aimed at helping the people
of South Vietnam build a stable
economy and form a government
which can effectively handle the
affairs of that nation while pro-
tecting it from outside inter-
vention.
To those who say our goal
is “domination” of South Viet-
nam, I say nonsense. Our great-
est effort is aimed at assist-
ing these people to become
