there was stillartillery fire.53900

there was still
artillery fire.

539
00:36:27,143 --> 00:36:30,210
And he could see that
the main runway

540
00:36:30,211 --> 00:36:34,214
was full of craters
from North Vietnamese artillery.

541
00:36:34,215 --> 00:36:37,084
And it was understood
that General Smith

542
00:36:37,085 --> 00:36:41,791
was not being premature with the
recommendation for Option 4.

543
00:36:44,791 --> 00:36:48,828
McBRIDE: Ambassador Martin's
concern very clearly up to now

544
00:36:48,829 --> 00:36:52,464
was that once we started
an official evacuation,

545
00:36:52,465 --> 00:36:57,968
it's pretty obvious that
the game is over.

546
00:36:57,969 --> 00:37:00,136
You've got to remember,
this is an ambassador

547
00:37:00,137 --> 00:37:05,475
who had lost his only son
in combat in Vietnam.

548
00:37:05,476 --> 00:37:09,779
One becomes pretty invested
in that country.

549
00:37:09,780 --> 00:37:12,614
He had been holding out hope

550
00:37:12,615 --> 00:37:17,319
that some kind of third-party
solution could be worked out

551
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:20,654
so that South Vietnam
could continue

552
00:37:20,655 --> 00:37:25,259
with some form of independence
or autonomy.

553
00:37:25,260 --> 00:37:27,660
And he was being encouraged

554
00:37:27,661 --> 00:37:31,263
to think that
this might be possible.

555
00:37:31,264 --> 00:37:33,933
But the morning of the 29th,

556
00:37:33,934 --> 00:37:38,641
he came to accept the fact that
that wasn't going to happen.

557
00:37:42,641 --> 00:37:44,776
And I picked up the phone

558
00:37:44,777 --> 00:37:49,513
and told Secretary Kissinger
to inform the President

559
00:37:49,514 --> 00:37:52,452
that I had decided we would have
to go to Option 4.

560
00:37:55,452 --> 00:37:59,754
When I tell President Ford
the airport is being shelled

561
00:37:59,755 --> 00:38:03,857
and that it's now time
to pull the plug,

562
00:38:03,858 --> 00:38:06,028
he keeps coming back
time and again,

563
00:38:07,028 --> 00:38:09,932
"You really think
we have to do it?"

564
00:38:11,932 --> 00:38:15,535
That's how heartbreaking
it was for him.

565
00:38:15,536 --> 00:38:21,009
He finally reluctantly
gave the go-ahead

566
00:38:22,009 --> 00:38:24,612
for the final evacuation.

567
00:38:27,612 --> 00:38:31,016
This is the American Forces
Vietnam Network.

568
00:38:32,016 --> 00:38:35,021
The prearranged signal
for the evacuation

569
00:38:36,021 --> 00:38:39,522
was broadcast on American radio
in Saigon.

570
00:38:39,523 --> 00:38:41,491
The message was,

571
00:38:41,492 --> 00:38:44,861
"The temperature
is 105 and rising,"

572
00:38:44,862 --> 00:38:49,531
and then Bing Crosby's
"White Christmas."

573
00:38:49,532 --> 00:38:52,001
And sure enough,
about 10:00 in the morning,

574
00:38:53,001 --> 00:38:55,636
I believe, on the 29th,

575
00:38:55,637 --> 00:39:00,573
there was Bing Crosby
on the airwaves.

576
00:39:00,574 --> 00:39:09,915
♪ I'm dreaming
of a white Christmas ♪

577
00:39:09,916 --> 00:39:20,158

580
00:39:38,306 --> 00:39:40,542
That morning, Ambassador Martin

581
00:39:40,543 --> 00:39:44,111
received a message that said
within 24 hours,

582
00:39:44,112 --> 00:39:47,281
the U.S. presence in Vietnam
had to be closed out,

583
00:39:47,282 --> 00:39:50,415
meaning we had to be gone.

584
00:39:50,416 --> 00:39:53,021
It was obvious that
there was the need

585
00:39:54,021 --> 00:39:57,890
for a hasty plan to be developed

586
00:39:57,891 --> 00:40:01,027
for a helicopter airlift
out of the embassy to the fleet.

587
00:40:02,027 --> 00:40:06,062
And we had less than 24 hours
to pull it off.

588
00:40:06,063 --> 00:40:09,600
McBRIDE: That morning, there
must have been, I would guess,

589
00:40:09,601 --> 00:40:14,604
at least 10,000 people
literally ringing the embassy.

590
00:40:14,605 --> 00:40:18,941
The embassy compound
was the size of a city block.

591
00:40:18,942 --> 00:40:20,509
It was big.

592
00:40:20,510 --> 00:40:25,913
And all sides of it were filled
200, 300 feet back.

593
00:40:25,914 --> 00:40:29,850
Fortunately, people were
by and large very controlled.

594
00:40:29,851 --> 00:40:33,319
They were very patient.

595
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,491
They were just hoping
desperately to get in.

596
00:40:37,492 --> 00:40:40,926
It's like the whole of Saigon

597
00:40:40,927 --> 00:40:44,763
want to get inside
the American embassy.

598
00:40:44,764 --> 00:40:47,799
So you have to know somebody,
you know?

599
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,937
If you're like me,
I find my friend

600
00:40:51,938 --> 00:40:56,607
and got a little paper
to ensure us to get in.

601
00:40:56,608 --> 00:40:59,410
So several of us
went to the embassy.

602
00:40:59,411 --> 00:41:01,611
Then my friend, he showed
the paper to the guard,

603
00:41:01,612 --> 00:41:04,781
and he's just kind of pointing
at each one of us,

604
00:41:04,782 --> 00:41:08,350
and we, one by one,
could go inside of the embassy.

605
00:41:08,351 --> 00:41:12,821
When I first got in,
I feel so good.

606
00:41:12,822 --> 00:41:16,790
"I'm in America...
I'm almost there."

607
00:41:16,791 --> 00:41:19,926
They have a courtyard
and a swimming pool,

608
00:41:19,927 --> 00:41:23,495
and we mostly gather
around the swimming pool.

609
00:41:23,496 --> 00:41:28,204
And 1,000 people there,
and they just keep coming in.

610
00:41:32,204 --> 00:41:36,908
That morning, CIA choppers
began picking up evacuees

611
00:41:36,909 --> 00:41:39,710
off the roofs of buildings
around the city

612
00:41:39,711 --> 00:41:42,215
and bringing them
to the embassy.

613
00:41:45,215 --> 00:41:49,720
There was an old pilot
named O.B. Harnage.

614
00:41:49,721 --> 00:41:53,888
He was blind in one eye
and lame in one leg.

615
00:41:53,889 --> 00:41:59,127
And I said, "Harnage,
we got people at 6 Gia Long.

616
00:41:59,128 --> 00:42:02,897
You gotta go pick them up."

617
00:42:02,898 --> 00:42:09,502
It was the deputy CIA station
chief's apartment building.

618
00:42:09,503 --> 00:42:13,339
There were a number
of very high-risk Vietnamese,

619
00:42:13,340 --> 00:42:16,542
including the defense minister
of South Vietnam,

620
00:42:16,543 --> 00:42:19,812
all waiting to be rescued.

621
00:42:19,813 --> 00:42:23,848
As they climbed up the ladder
to the roof,

622
00:42:23,849 --> 00:42:27,584
a photographer took
that famous photograph.

623
00:42:27,585 --> 00:42:30,788
Many people thought
that was the U.S. embassy.

624
00:42:30,789 --> 00:42:32,422
It wasn't.

625
00:42:32,423 --> 00:42:36,359
But it indicated to what extent
chaos had descended

626
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,601
on this entire operation.

627
00:42:44,601 --> 00:42:46,267
Inside the embassy,

628
00:42:46,268 --> 00:42:50,104
everywhere we looked
was teeming with Vietnamese.

629
00:42:50,105 --> 00:42:52,739
We counted them,
and the total number

630
00:42:52,740 --> 00:42:56,209
was about 2,800.

631
00:42:56,210 --> 00:42:58,155
There was no hiding it
that somehow,

632
00:42:58,658 --> 00:43:01,547
people had to have let
these people into the embassy.

633
00:43:01,548 --> 00:43:03,649
Was it, you know,

634
00:43:03,650 --> 00:43:06,718
Marine security guards who kind
of looked the other way?

635
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:09,488
Was it American employees
in the embassy

636
00:43:09,489 --> 00:43:12,189
who were doing kind of
what we did with black ops

637
00:43:12,190 --> 00:43:14,993
and taking care of their own?

638
00:43:14,994 --> 00:43:17,393
We never got
to the bottom of that

639
00:43:17,394 --> 00:43:21,497
and frankly,
we never pursued it.

640
00:43:21,498 --> 00:43:23,033
One of the Marines said to me,

641
00:43:23,034 --> 00:43:24,500
"You know, we should take out
the tailor."

642
00:43:24,501 --> 00:43:29,439
There was a tailor who made
all our civilian clothes.

643
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,306
So I said,

644
00:43:31,307 --> 00:43:33,241
"Why don't we
take out the cook too?"

645
00:43:33,242 --> 00:43:35,176
He said, "Well, you should
take out the cook too,

646
00:43:35,177 --> 00:43:36,511
"and all the other cooks.

647
00:43:36,512 --> 00:43:38,080
"They should get out.

648
00:43:38,081 --> 00:43:40,281
They had business
with Americans."

649
00:43:40,282 --> 00:43:42,283
So they took the bread truck

650
00:43:42,284 --> 00:43:45,752
and they rounded up the tailor,
the cooks and the dishwashers,

651
00:43:45,753 --> 00:43:47,854
a few others and their families,

652
00:43:47,855 --> 00:43:51,695
and drove them
into the embassy compound.

653
00:43:56,695 --> 00:43:59,665
There was in the parking lot
of the embassy

654
00:43:59,666 --> 00:44:02,265
a great tamarind tree,

655
00:44:02,266 --> 00:44:05,236
which the Ambassador
had often referred to

656
00:44:05,237 --> 00:44:10,640
as "steadfast as the American
commitment in Vietnam."

657
00:44:10,641 --> 00:44:12,810
The CIA station chief
that last morning said,

658
00:44:13,010 --> 00:44:15,622
"Mr. Ambassador,
we have to cut this tree down."

659
00:44:18,181 --> 00:44:22,183
You could not land any large
helicopters on the parking lot

660
00:44:22,184 --> 00:44:26,721
unless the tree and all
the shrubbery was all gone.

661
00:44:26,722 --> 00:44:31,191
The Ambassador had resisted us
cutting that tree

662
00:44:31,192 --> 00:44:35,495
because he did not want anybody
to be alerted

663
00:44:35,496 --> 00:44:38,064
that we were doing
any sort of evacuation

664
00:44:38,065 --> 00:44:40,399
or were going to do
any sort of evacuation.

665
00:44:43,302 --> 00:44:45,005
He was upset.

666
00:44:46,005 --> 00:44:50,207
But finally he succumbed,
you know, to just common sense

667
00:44:50,208 --> 00:44:52,076
and gave up his, uh...

668
00:44:52,077 --> 00:44:53,944
I guess you could call it
a dream.

669
00:44:53,945 --> 00:44:56,114
And we cut it down.
