In his television interview, he declared: "I am going to call in the businessmen of America and say one of two things has to happen: you have to help me go out and find jobs for these people, or we are going to find jobs in the Government for them.

He has also made it a point to fly in every kind of U.S. aircraft in use in Asia, from little Cessna spotter planes to the fleet F-4 fighter-bomber. Only Momyer himself can call off a search-and-rescue effort for a downed U.S. pilot, and he refuses to leave his combat center until he has made that grim decision, even if it means pacing the floor through an entire night...
