If there's a fire in Ninth, Tenth, or Eleventh Street, for example, any hour of the day or night, I'm usually there . . . . If a family is burned out I don't ask them whether they are Republicans or Democrats and I don't refer them to the Charity Organization Society, which would investigate their case in a month or two and would decide they were worthy of help about the time they are dead from starvation. I just get [a place to live] for them, buy clothes for them . . . and fix them up till they get things runnin' again."

Vietnam at the time was split into North (communist) and South (being attacked by North) and the US didn't want communism to spread, reasoning that it might eventually come to the US if nothing was done.
