One letter from Senator Robert Francis Kennedy to John F. Bayliss dated September 15, 1967. Kennedy writes that he believes the United States had to provide the resources to American soldiers in Vietnam as well as support the democratic rights of the South Vietnamese people. He also expressed his conviction that there could be no simple answers to the complex problems facing the nation. "The strength and honor of our country permits and requires us to be forthright - and the complexity of our problems precludes simple answers. . . . The people of our country have a right to expect not easy answers but candid evaluation of our conduct and our position in the world."
