The Congress undoubtedly will take the hint and pass substitute legislation that will guard against subversives without infringing on their constitutional rights...
Considering these factors, what could the U.S. settle for now? Instead of aiming for firm guarantees that South Viet Nam will be forever free of aggression from within and without, the U.S. might honorably accept an arrangement that would give the country a reasonable chance of success. In broad terms, it might consider a peace that would arrest Communism instead of smashing...
