there can now be no longer any question that progress in negotiation depends only on hanoi ’s deciding to negotiate -- to negotiate seriously.
i realize that this report on our efforts on the diplomatic front is discouraging to the american people, but the american people are entitled to know the truth -- the bad news as well as the good news -- where the lives of our young men are involved.
now let me turn, however, to a more encouraging report on another front. at the time we launched our search for peace, i recognized we might not succeed in bringing an end to the war through negotiations. i therefore put into effect another plan to bring peace -- a plan which will bring the war to an end regardless of what happens on the negotiating front.
it is in line with the major shift in u. s. foreign policy which i described in my press conference at guam on july 25.
let me briefly explain what has been described as the nixon doctrine -- a policy which not only will help end the war in vietnam but which is an essential element of our program to prevent future vietnams.
