Perot Hanoi aid mission yields publicity not prisoners’ relief
The attempt by Texas businessman H Ross Perot to deliver gifts to U S prisoners of war in Hanoi failed to improve prisoners’ conditions or advance peace talks. The episode drew heavy publicity, showcased communist caution toward private diplomacy, and drew mixed but largely favorable views of Perot. The piece notes Perot’s flamboyant style and prior political and philanthropic activities. It also critiques duplication between Iowa state agencies over a new special collections department at Iowa State University, urging explanation or consolidation to avoid taxpayer waste.
