Bravo to everyone involved. Thank you for sharing!!

The Pentagon Papers included Department of Defense documents but not State Department or CIA documents.   The House of Representatives and U.S. Senate published seperate collections of these documents that were more complete than those published by various newspapers.  None of the various editions of the Pentagon Papers included (1) JFK's infamous Counterinsurgency "Bible" published in response to Kennedy's National Security Action Memo 182, (2) the diplomatic volumes of the Pentagon papers summarized in the 1968 book entitled The Secret Search for Peace in Vietnam by David Kraslow and Stuart H. Loory or (3) the deliberations of the Super top secret SEACOORD committe which commanded all operations in Southeast Asia.  Rusk never revealed this entity although decades later the State Department published some of these documents revealing the fact that all decisions were made by a majority of the five committee members which included two military leaders (CINCPAC Admiral Sharp and COMUSMACV General Weatmoreland) and three State Department ambassadors in Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.
