Nixon should be told that it is probably an objective of Clifford to depose Thieu before Nixon is inaugurated. Word should be gotten to Nixon that if Thieu meets the same fate as Diem, the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.
（尼克松应当被告知，早在他宣誓就职之前， Clark Clifford可能就想要罢免阮文绍。应该让尼克松明白，假如阮文绍遭遇到了与吴庭琰相同的命运，那么给世界各国的信号就会是，做美国的敌人或许是危险的，但做美国的朋友却是致命的。）
