I don't believe that we miscalculated the will of the South Vietnamese to carry on their fight for their own freedom.
The United States has been doing and will continue to do its utmost to assist these people.
I expect to be campaigning very hard for my own reelection-or election in 1976.
The facts are, we can afford no more delays.
