...contrast, middle-and lower-echelon officials at the State Department, the Pentagon and U.S. headquarters in Saigon voiced profound pessimism. They were dismayed by the uncertain performance of the South Vietnamese government, dejected by the demoralization of a populace suddenly feeling even less secure than before, disappointed by the failure of U.S. intelligence in anticipating the scope of the Communist move at a time when such attacks clearly should have been anticipated. No one of course believed that half a million U.S. troops could be defeated by the enemy in Viet Nam; but there was considerable fear that they...

Whether the additional manpower would be used to reinforce the thinly spread U.S. fighting forces in Viet Nam was uncertain.

Exactly what this second, so-called "joint development" study will eventually propose to minimize the damage of the Belt is still uncertain. Apparently, ways will be sought to bring an influx of Federal money into the neighborhoods affected by the road. In particular, the Model Cities program may help relocate families displaced by the Belt, provide loans to area businessmen, and furnish other compensations. The problems of building and financing "air rights construction"--houses and business built on a platform above the depressed highway--will also be a likely topic. After that, it's anybody's guess...
