SAIGON (AP) — Hanoi fore-

United States would take the
war to North Vietnam’s territo-
ry 14 months before President
Lyndon B. Johnson launched
the sustained bombing of the
North in February 1965, accord-
ing to a captured document
made public by the U.S. Em-
bassy today.
A resolution of the Central
Committee of the North Viet-
namese Communist party,
adopted at a meeting in De-
cember 1963, said the “favor-
able development of the revolu-
tion in the South depends on
our unceasing efforts to
strengthen North Vietnam.
"Therefore, we must increase
our economic and defensive
strength in North Vietnam,” it
continued. “We should increase

be ready to face the enemy’s
new schemes. At the same
time, we should be prepared to
cope with the eventuality of the
expansion of the war into North
Vietnam."
The resolution also foresaw
the possibility of the major
buildup of U.S. forces in Viet-
nam which began in mid-1965
and reached a peak strength of
543,400 in April 1969. But it said
this possibility was remote.
It said the Americans might
“carry on the war at the
present or slightly higher lev-
el” or they might “intensify the
war by bringing in troops many
times larger or both American
troops and troops from the
Southeast Asian aggressive bloc
will intervene in the war.”
The resolution said such an
escalation might occur if:
