Department of State Washington File: Text: Testimony of Former American POW on Vietnam "Cuba Program"
In August 1964, I was assigned to Attack Squadron 216 as the Operations Officer flying in the A4C Skyhawk off the USS Hancock. Our carrier was in the South China Sea in early 1965 when the war against North Vietnam began to escalate. On my fifth mission, I was shot down bombing a bridge in North Vietnam. I broke both bones above the ankle when I landed. I was then taken to the camp known as the "Hanoi Hilton" where I was in complete solitary and was never moved off a wooden board for fourth months, except to go to the hospital for two hours one night to have a two-inch piece of bone cut from my leg because it had become infected. ...

3. As Dept aware, Mission’s assessment of desirability of US participation in future Committee trips to Africa significantly influenced by experience of 1967 trip. That trip revealed that Committee’s importance to bone fide African petitioners had diminished considerably and petitioners who were in one way or another persuaded to appear tended be purveyors of trumped-up anti-Western charges and noticeably susceptible to leading questions of anti-US Committee members. Trip turned out to be grand exercise in vituperation against Western countries by radical ASAFs and Soviets and, in absence of UK, all fire was directed at US. Although present chairman, unlike predecessor, would not be active participant in such hostile proceedings, we believe situation which US would encounter on trip this year would not be essentially different from that of 1967. ...

(3) Also I said that Bowles had expressed to me his hope that further aid assurances might be given to Afghan if our present lifeline of supply not cut. I explained carefully to Daud that I was not giving him at this stage formal assurances by US Government, but rather the intention of Bowles to start working on these things if we could make arrangements to keep things going in interim. ... Mr. Bowles began by mentioning the fact that two days earlier Ambassador Byroade had discussed the Pakistan - Afghanistan problem with Foreign Minister Naim and this morning had called upon Prime Minister Daud. The United States was particularly interested in the continued flow of traffic into Afghanistan. If the border remained closed for any length of time most of our programs in Afghanistan would come to a halt because of a shortage of supplies including asphalt and motor fuels. Mr. Bowles pointed out that our aid to Pakistan had been significant because Pakistan had a well-planned program for economic development. He said it was our understanding that Afghanistan has just completed its development plan and that the planners were hopeful that about one-half of the foreign exchange requirements would come from the West. If the door to the outside world were slammed shut, the Afghans would have to turn to the Soviets. ... [Read More]
