U S Pays Vast Share of Saigon Costs As Thieu Held In Power
An unpublished Indochina Resource Center study asserts U S taxpayers covered about 90 percent of South Vietnam’s costs to sustain President Thieu over four years. It cites 1972 figures showing $2.6 billion in U S support versus $140 million locally raised. The report questions continued aid and portrays U S policy as misaligned with international aims. The administration disputes the 90 percent figure, offering 47 to 51 percent estimates. The piece also notes Humane Society scrutiny of rattlesnake roundups and cruel treatment of snakes.
