○  英语演讲：the great silent majority  ○

the vietnamization plan was launched following secretary laird’s visit to vietnam in march.  under the plan, i ordered first a substantial increase in the training and equipment of south vietnamese forces.

in july, on my visit to vietnam, i changed general abrams’s orders so that they were consistent with the objectives of our new policies.

under the new orders, the primary mission of our troops is to enable the south vietnamese forces to assume the full responsibility for the security of south vietnam. our air operations have been reduced by over 20 per cent.

and now we have begun to see the results of this long-overdue change in american policy in vietnam.

after five years of americans going into vietnam we are finally bringing american men home. by dec. 15 over 60,000 men will have been withdrawn from south vietnam, including 20 percent of all of our combat forces.

the south vietnamese have continued to gain in strength.  as a result, they have been able to take over combat responsibilities from our american troops.

two other significant developments have occurred since this administration took office.
