I agree with you completely that it was a reasonable contingency plan. I'd like to see what other speeches were drafted, though, to get a sense of what eventualities they foresaw.

Presumably, if the HBs are right, there will be a speech somewhere in the archives dealing with "what if the Russians find out?" or "what if anyone finds out?". Haven't seen those speeches yet. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
