Schumann has never asked me whether US response to a Chinese attack would be subject to same conditions posed in Department telegram 4023 and I have never, in any way, indicated to him what the US requirements would be for reaction in such an emergency except to point out that full clarification of the independence of Vietnam would be most important. See Embassy telegram 4580.
