I WOULD NOT REJECT IN PRINCIPLE THE IDEA
OF LINKAGE BETWEEN THE RETURN OF THE BOAT AND THAT SEVEN BUT WOULD LIKE TO GIVE IT FURTHER THOUGHT ON MY RETURN FROM A VISIT TO HUE, DANANG AND HO CHI MINH CITY. I WOULD CERTAINLY NOT WISH TO HINT AT SUCH A LINKAGE UNTIL WE HAVE THE 32 FISHERMEN SAFELY OUT OF VIETNAM. LINKAGE IS A TWO EDGED SWORD.
