...Moves. Without mentioning the Bo statement, Johnson in effect replied to it in the State of the Union message with a slightly reworded version of his San Antonio speech. In San Antonio he had said that the U.S. would call off the bombing "when this will lead promptly to productive discussions. We, of course, assume that while discussions proceed, North Viet Nam would not take advantage of the bombing cessation or limitation." Last week the President seemed more yielding in one phase of the formula and more adamant in another. Instead of asking assurance that the talks would be "productive...
Regardless of the wording, the Administration insisted afterward that there had been no change of position and that there would be none. "We've run out of moves," said one high official.

Only three months previously, President Johnson appeared to mute his earlier--and ill-advised--demand that the North Vietnamese de-escalate their military activities in exchange for the bombing halt required to initiate talks. In a September 30 speech at San Antonio, Johnson said he only "assumed" the North Vietnamese would not "take advantage" of a respite from the bombing. This statement was more concilitory than anything since his promise to Ho Chi Minh nearly a year ago that the U.S. would talk peace anywhere on the face of the earth...
