ELLSBERG: The individuals who
man the posts in the executive
branch are human beings much like
the human beings in Congress, and
outside the government. I think that
the soiution to the problem of the
behavior that has led us so far into
this war is not to find some new
breed of official, or some strain of
saint with which to man these posi
tions, but it is to take very seriously
the advantages implicit in the Con
stitution of pitting one set of in-
dividuais with certain institutional in
centives, a certain power base and
certain responsibiiities to the public
against other very comparable in
dividuals in the executive. That’s
the meaning in the constitutional
provision of separation of powers.

It’s not the provision that leads to
proficiency per se, but it is meant to
protect the freedoms of individuals.
I think that the answer has to be
not centrally performed in the execu
tive branch and the courts. I might
add that the courts are to be criti
cized in their past behavior for
avoiding the basic responsibility of
addressing very profound iegal ques
tions connected with this war, just
as most Congressmen have failed to
do what they could in line with their
own Constitutional functions.
GREER: I think that the issue of
personal responsibility in taking that
kind of further action is important
not only to people here in Congress,
but also to people in America, many
of whom have taken some resistance
action in their lifetime, either by re
sisting the draft or by some other
way of saying that they are not
going to go along any longer as part
of the war effort.
However, many people were look
ing for alternatives to Mayday, and 1
think many Americans are still look
ing for those alternatives. They feel
the responsibility weighing very
heavily and yet they look for other
paths or avenues to express that or
to somehow make an effective re
sistance to the war.
ELLSBERG: The example of the
people who took part in Mayday,
which was very creditably non
violent, should be an example and
a challenge to their parents and to
other older people in this country.
It is obviously based on a willing
ness on their part to take the risks
of jail, which was their experience
as it worked out.
i have found over the fast year a
very depiorabie attitude on the part
of many adults and older people
have been happy to see their sons
and other younger people take the
risks of carrying on the war. When
I asked people, even those in Con
gress, how they thought the war was
going to be brought to an end, or
what would keep President Nixon
from invading Laos before that hap
pened, or bombing North Vietnam
before that happened, or destroying
Vietnam before that happened, they
tended to say: “the kids” will not
allow it.
They might say demonstrations
will not allow it, but then if you
pressed them further — “who is
going to do those things” — “the
kids”.
This really gave me the uneasy
feeling that the adults in this country
who are against the war were willing
to see their children be cannon
fodder at the barricades, go to jail,
risk their career; just as “hawk” par
ents set their children off to die.
I wouldn’t be at all happy if the
burden of resisting this war con
tinues to be on the adolescents and
young men in arms while their par-

ents and other older people stand
back and regard risk-taking as total
ly out of the question.
NELSON: Would you describe
what you feel are the factors that
underlie the Nixon administration’s
negotiating posture, and how de
cisions of what our negotiating posi
tion is going to be have been deter
mined in the past? In light of this,
what do you think of the recent 7-
point proposal of the Provisional
Revolutionary Government?
Could a Congressman exert influ
ence in this field?
ELLSBERG: Well, I think that our
negotiating posture is what is has
been in previous negotiations — so
called.
The posture has not been willing
at all to make the kinds of conces
sions that were clearly called for five
years ago, ten years ago, and twenty
years ago, if the war was to be
avoided or ended.
You have asked a number of ques
tions here, which are a little difficult
to deal with in one answer. The
question arose recently in the hear
ings about the volumes of negotia
tion in the Pentagon Study. Of
course, what those reveal, I think,
is what I have just said. There
have been no serious negotiations
ali this time and the famous private
channels have been channels for
ultimatums from this government to
the other side, calling upon it to sur
render, in effect. Ultimatums of
which none of our intelligence esti
mates ever gave a president hope
that they would achieve an end to
the war.
I do have some hopes right now,
and they are in part related that the
mood of the American public since
the total failure of the Laotion in
vasion, and the disillusionment with
the effect of the war on our troops
overseas — the heroin and corrup
tion of the government of Saigon —
combined now with the revelations
in the Pentagon Papers as to how
we got where we got, and as to what
the role of the executive has been
in misleading the public, may well
have give President Nixon the feel
ing that it will be much more difficult
in the future than in the past to get
a tolerant reception from the press,
the Congress and the public for
further escalation.
If Nixon should conclude that he
can no longer creditably threaten to
destroy North Vietnam because he
can no longer count on concealing
his intentions from the press and
the public, or lying to them in a way
which is either effective or accepted,
he may decide that he no longer has
any cards in his hand with which to
pursue victory.
I think the threat of bombing was
basically what he thought of incor
rectly as his ace that might achieve
a better outcome. If he concludes
that the threat is really not possible,
he might decide that he has no
choice but to reach a genuine set
tlement or to exricate himself. I
hope it will go that way.
In China, by her willingness to
receive Nixon, should offer him a
chance to be a peace president
rather than a war president, I think
it’s not impossible that he might go
against his past political record, and
take that position even at the price
of reaching an end to this war.
So I think that there is more rea
son to hope at this point than there
has been for years. But that is far
from saying that one can count on
it going that way.
Journalism is merely the art
of putting white words in
black type.
