Thank you very much. Senator Goldwater on 9-0. Thank you sir. Thank you. I'm going to make a statement in a little bit and I want to talk to you before I did. I don't know just what time it'll be but it'll probably be when we're sure that their radar screen is picked up our plane. As President Commander-in-Chief, it's my duty to the American people to report that renewed hostile actions against US ships on the high seas and the Gulf of Tont can have all have today required me to order the military forces of the United States to take action and reply. The initial attack on the destroyer-matics on August 2nd was repeated today by a number of hostile vessels attacking two US destroyers with torpedoes. The destroyers and supporting aircraft acted at once on the orders given by me after the initial act of aggression. We believe at least two of the attacking boats were sunk. There were no US losses. The performance of commanders and crews in this engagement is the highest tradition of the United States Navy. But repeated acts of violence against the armed forces of the United States must be met not only with alert defense but with positive reply. Reply is being given. In the large sense this new act of aggression aimed directly at our own forces must bring home to all of us again. The importance to us in the United States is the struggle for peace and security in Southeast Asia. Now when I say the reply is being given, Barry, I may elaborate on that a little bit depending on how safe I can be at the time I delivered the statement. Aggression by terror against the peaceful villagers of South Vietnam has now been joined by open aggression on the high seas against the United States of America. The determination of all Americans to carry out our full commitment to the people and government of South Vietnam will be redoubled by this outrage. Yet our response to the President will be limited in fitting. We Americans know, although others appear to forget, the risk of spreading conflict, we still seek no wider war. I have instructed Secretary of State to make this position totally clear to France to adversaries and indeed to all. I have instructed Ambassador Stevenson to raise this matter immediately and urgently before the Security Council of the United Nations. Finally, I have today met with the leaders of both parties in the Congress of the United States. And I have informed them that I shall immediately request the Congress to pass a resolution, making it clear that our government is united in its determination to take all necessary measures in support of freedom and in defense of peace and Southeast Asia. I have been given encouraging assurance by these leaders at such a resolution. We promptly introduced freely and expeditiously debated and passed our hope for overwhelming support. It is a solemn responsibility to have to order even limited military action by forces whose overall strength is as vast and as awesome as those of the United States of America. But is my considered conviction shared throughout your government that firmness in the right is indispensable toward today for peace. That firmness will always be measured. Its mission is peace. That's it. Well, we are just very confidentially, we are going to take all the boats out that we can and all the bases in which they come. Well, I think it's a proper action. I think it's just taking the right to the right. I'm here to remind everybody of me behind you. Well, I thank you and I wanted you to know about it and we had a good meeting here and I didn't want to stay in the thing until I was able to reach you. That's all right. I'll write all over the Americans. Thank you, Barry. Bye, tell them. You
