KEITH HAFEN Chronicle staff Frank Snepp, in his book Decent Intervals, does not make any moral judgments on why America got involved with Vietnam, hut writes about how indecently Amelia ot out, according to Judy Mancini. Mancini, a representative of Zions Book Store in Salt Ijke City, reviewed the book on January 10 at the Hinckley Institute of Politics Bx)ks and Banter. "It's a fascinating book. I hope you will read it. He brought out points about Vietnam never mentioned in other books I've read," she said. Snepp was a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) strategy analyst in Saigon. He became disenchanted with what the CIA had done there and decided to write a book on what he knew. Snepp said the CIA had bungled some affairs, but had wanted him to write reports in such a way as to ward off an investigation. "He went underground to write." In fact, "he met with Random House (the book's publishing company) representatives in secret," she said. "There's a lot of military strategy in this book," she continued. According to Mancini, Snepp wrote that Henry Kissinger didn't think peace could be achieved. He wanted the war to reach a decent, peaceful interval to allow America to get out. The Ford Administration said the lack of financial aid from the United Stales was the reason why more people who had wanted to leave South Vietnam didn't make it out. According to Mancini, Snepp said it wasn't the money but shoddy leadership in Saigon, particularly from President fl Oh J by SHU time to register for some of the THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST 177 OF SAINTS LATTER-DA- institute of institute religion Classes. 1 4 YEARS OF COLLEGE ON 37 GALLONS OF GAS Nyugen Van Thieu.

If the evacuation had been started earlier, all those who had wanted to leave could have made it. As it happened, many who should have gotten out didn't. People were left standing in line for helicopters that never did arrive.

According to Mancini, Snepp said Kissinger insisted a peaceful settlement could be made, but the CIA knew otherwise. Snepp also writes that Kissinger handled Vietnam negotiations poorly in two ways. One, he secretly met with the Communists and would not let other leaders know what was going on. Second, he would not delegate responsibility. So, when he left Vietnam to do business in the xMiddle East, no one was left in Vietnam to carry on his responsibilities. st Nash and Lastreto earned a six win-twloss preliminary record in the California competition by defeating teams from such schools as Redlands, Georgetown, Dartmouth and USC. o r!M l.C-- ky- v5 ) Kyi U?1 ' a announced at the Region 9 Convention April at the Park City C'est Bon newspaper editorial writing, cartooning, depth reporting, sfxH news and features, will 21-2- 3 be recognized.
