...Matter of Propaganda. Initially, Johnson suggested Geneva. Without rejecting the Swiss city outright, Hanoi came back with Pnompenh. Johnson, in turn, pointed out that Cambodia's capital has serious communications shortcomings and that neither the U.S. nor South Viet Nam has an embassy there. Instead, he proposed four other Asian sites (Vientiane, Rangoon, Djakarta and New Delhi...

Here is where the people in Saigon began wondering: If Khe Sanh falls, if another city or two is badly struck, if there are civilian uprisings--which I would not be surprised to see in the next few months because of what we are doing to defend the cities now--if this did happen, what would the response of the United States be?
