The CIA claims that it said that it could do nothing to help, but strongly urged the Green Berets not to kill the man.

Succeeding generations will know Mies' name, and perhaps even apply it to the epoch. Mies laid down a fundamental creed of honest structure. Skin-and-bones architecture, he called it.
