○  英语演讲：the great silent majority  ○

i want to be sure that there is no misunderstanding on the part of the enemy with regard to our withdrawal program.  we have noted the reduced level of infiltration, the reduction of our casualties and are basing our withdrawal decisions partially on those factors.

if the level of infiltration or our casualties increase while we are trying to scale down the fighting, it will be the result of a conscious decision by the enemy. hanoi could make no greater mistake than to assume that an increase in violence will be to its advantage.

if i conclude that increased enemy action jeopardizes our remaining forces in vietnam, i shall not hesitate to take strong and effective measures to deal with that situation.

this is not a threat. this is a statement of policy which as commander in chief of our armed forces i am making and meeting my responsibility for the protection of american fighting men wherever they may be.

my fellow americans, i am sure you can recognize from what i have said that we really have only two choices open to us if we want to end this war.

i can order an immediate precipitate withdrawal of all americans from vietnam without regard to the effects of that action.
