Clifford said yesterday if Hanoi fails to show "good faith" in the Paris talks, the United States may have to resume the bombing of North Vietnam. Clifford also said he hoped American and Soviet representatives could start discussions on the limitation and reduction of nuclear strategic weapons before President Johnson leaves office.

"IT WOULD be my hope there still would be an opportunity of this administration" to get the talks started, Clifford said in a broadcast interview, (Issues and Answers ABC). Speaking about the Paris negotiations, Clifford said Johnson had made "a very determined effort to get substantive talks started. We are hopeful that progress is now being made in that regard. "If Hanoi wants to show its good faith by meeting the requirements of those talks and agreeing with the general understanding, he is willing to proceed. "If they at some time show us that they are not serious and that they are not going to proceed in good faith, I have no doubt whatsoever the President will have to return to our former concept and that is to keep the pressure on the enemy and that would include bombing if necessary." CLIFFORD SAID the United States would not stop its reconnaissance flights over North Vietnam because "it is very important to the President" to get intelligence so that in the event that any development takes place which All Rigged Up and No Way To Go but some got their feet wet as boats carried them to safety.
