The report said that some of-
ficials in Washington understood
that only eight crew members
were aboard the fishing boat
and felt the details relayed by
the pilots were too sketchy to be
certain.
"Marine assault forces planned
and carried out the assault on
Koh Tang with inaccurate esti-
mates of Cambodian strength on
that island," the report said.
"GAO was unable to determine;
why the available more accurate
intelligence estimates did not
reach the task group and assault
force commanders."
GAO SAID the Marine landing
on the island and the subsequent'
bombing of the Cambodian
mainland did not influence the
Cambodian decision to release
the crew. However, it said U.S.
officials could not have known
that at the time.
The report said the U.S. gave'
little weight to indications that
the Cambodians might be work-
ing out a solution to the situation
through diplomatic means.
The State Department pre-
viously stated that all effective
diplomatic initiatives to Cam-
bodia and other countries were
taken within the limited time
available.
POLITICAL advertisements
for President Ford's election
have mentioned the Mayaguez
incident as an example of his
superior leadership.
White House Press Secretary
Ron Nessen said in San Fran-
cisco, "We disagree with that
conclusion."
"The President carried out
the actions in the Mayaguez case
and believed they were right,"
he said. "The interval of time
has not affected anything."
THE REPORT was prepared
by the GAO for the Democratic-
controlled House international
political and military affairs sub-
committee which released it yes-
terday with several security de-
letions.
A committee aide said the re-
port had been delayed by nego-
tiations with the National Secur-
ity Council over classified ma-
terial. He said it was coinciden-
tal that its release comes during
the presidential campaign.
It was attacked by a top aide
to Secretary of State Henry Kis-
singer as "attempts to second-
guess" the fast decisions offi-
cials had to make at the time.
THE KISSINGER assistant,
Lawrence Eagleburger, con-
demned the report in a letter
reprinted in it as "totally in-
adequate and misleading."
Aside from the criticism of
poor communications, the report
said the U.S. military action
"was generally accomplished in
an efficient and effective man-
ner.
"The performance of U.S.
forces was inspiring," the report
said.

Boukai, who was living in
Stevens Co-operative since the
beginning of the term, had been
shot four times. Her body was
discovered by a passing jogger
last Friday in a remote sec-
tion of the Arb, just yards out-
side the Ann Arbor city limits.
Wilson, who police said had
been "crashing" in the campus
area, was named as a suspect
Saturday. Authorities believe
the pair had been acquaint-
ances, although Boukai's par-
ents and residents at Stevens
said they had never heard of
Wilson.
KERR now believes the mur-
der was robbery - related, al-
though he could not pinpoint
the sum of money involved.
"It wasn't murder to get
drugs, as far as we know," he
said refuting earlier specula-
tion.
Boukai had withdrawn money
from a local bank shortly be-
fore her death, but Kerr could
not say at this time whether
the funds and life insurance
policy were related.
Carey Boukai, the victim's
father, said he had no knowl-
edge of any insurance policy.

When someone drinks too
much and then drives, it's the silence
that kills. Your silence.
It kills your friends, your
relatives, and people you don't even
know. But they're all people you
could save.
If you knew what to say,
maybe you'd be less quiet. Maybe
fewer people would die.
What you should say is, "I'll
drive you home." Or, "Let me call a
cab." Or, "Sleep on my couch
tonight."
Don't hesitate because your
coffee never made anyone sober.
Maybe it would keep him awake
long enough to have an accident.
But that's about all.
The best way to prevent a
drunk from becoming a dead drunk
is to stop him from driving.
Speak up. Don't let silence be
the last sound he hears.
