Pu-sident Nixon's decision to

into Cambodia caused meat con

campuses to Capitol Hill, intense,
sometimes bitter, debate follow
el the Piosidcnt's Apnl 30 an
nouncement The unexpectedness
of the move and the public's lin
ed taints about its significance
no doubt conlnbuted to the in
ti usity of the debate*
My peisonal feeling was that
the issue needed to be put into
piopei peispective It was ncces
s.ny to snip away the emotional
ism and examine the facts about
the Piesident’s Cambodian de
cision That’s why I listened at
lentively to students who coun
seled me concerning then very
forceful and deeply felt view
point That’s the leason why I
examined the thinking behind
the action which the Nixon Ad
ministiation felt was necessary
m Southeast Asia.
The conclusion I reached was
that we are not dealing with an
escalation of the war the thing
feaied most by many Americans,
myself included. The fact that
the action has very specific lim
its tied to it tempers the threat
of escalation However, that fact
also makes it necessary for the
military to operate strictly with
in the defined lestraints because
to do otheiwise will raise grave
doubts about credibility of the

The limited military thrust in

ol this move
We wcie avvaie of the nsks in
volved in allowing the Commu
nists to continue then buildup of
men and supplies in “pi iv Hedg
ed sanctum ies" in Cambodia. The
completion of the Vietnamiza
piogram, which has been success
ful in bringing American soldi
cis home, was jeopaidized by
that buildup. The evident strat
egy of the Communists was to
await additional tioop with draw
als and then launch an all-out
strike against our remaining
forces and the South Vietnamese
population centers.
No thinking American wants
an enlargement of the Vietnam
war However, Cambodia has
been veiy much a part of the
war for years. Therefore, it
must be very much a considera
tion in any plans to get our men
home. President Nixon so consid
eied and decided to act. It was a
hard choice, but for policy de
cisions I believe we must have
some faith in the man who has a
singular responsibility for the
lives of our men in combat
the Piesident.
