right of the United Slates to use military forces in both Viet Nam and the Dominican Republic He said opponents of U.S tion were using cliches to form a foreign policy not facts Despite the opinions

necessary to save the lives of their nationals It had nothing to do with 19th century types of intervention Q What elements of the tion in the Dominican Republic could justify such a departure from long-established A I have already indicated that the taken in the minican Republic was not a departure from established cy The situation in the ican Republic contains unique elements which in a time contributed to chaos Decades of dictatorship had stunted the development of a general civic order It had been impossible to develop solidly based institutions for the expression of the national will and to build the basis for an national political life Thus at a time of sudden crisis there were no elements ill the country that could take effective responsibility lor law and order The result was total chaos Q Is it correct to say there were Uvo phases in the tion covering 1 a rescue ation and 2 a move to prevent a Communist If so when did the U.S purpose change and did the change fect the number of troops re- A The first action taken by the United States was indeed a rescue operation and there is voluminous evidence to indicate that the Marines arrived just ill time to avoid a major calamity The mission of the U.S forces did expand in keeping with the necessities of the changing and to support the deci- sions of the OAS For example the rescue of American and foreign nationals proved to be a larger problem than was at first anticipated the OAS requested that an inter- national neutral zone of safety be promptly established a jor effort was required to vide food and medicines to tain the elementary public health of the country and the OAS committee arrived and needed support In short after the initial emergency U.S forces were necessary to preserve the tion in the Dominican Republic until the OAS could take charge Meanwhile the evidence was mounting that the Communists had captured the revolution cording to plan and the danger of a Communist takeover was established beyond question Q Why did the United States not seek OAS approval before it took any action at A Time factors were crucial earlier in the afternoon of April 28 the American ambassador reported that he was not prepared lo recommend the use of American armed forces At he informed us that the situation had deteriorated very badly and very rapidly that Ihc police and military had informed him that they could no longer control the that American and foreign nationals were in danger and that outside forces were required As presently organized tne docs not have standby forces or the political ery for the immediate decisions required lo deal with such gent contingencies As soon as the action was taken dors to the OAS were informed and a was called to en- able the OAS to take Do you think that quent OAS action has been ex- enough and fast enough to deal with the A Given the circumstances and the necessity for OAS to obtain instructions from their governments OAb action has been prompt However pace of events in this case does indicate thai Ihc OAS should consider by forces and political ments that would that organization lo make decisions and to in any future emergency
