Nixon secret promises to South Vietnam reveal tensions
Washington told that in 1973 Nixon privately pledged to respond vigorously to any breach of the Paris accord. White House aide Ron Nessen said the confidential talks with South Vietnamese President Thieu echoed the administration’s public policy. Critics on Capitol Hill questioned these agreements and Kissinger denied any secret commitments. The note stressed that Congress law barred American military action and that public policy aligned with private exchanges.

Army Chief Weyand urged over 700 million dollars in extra South Vietnam military aid while President Ford signaled a smaller military request in exchange for greater humanitarian aid. Officials said Ford expected to ask Congress for about 300 million in additional military aid, with plans to outline Indochina proposals during a joint session address. Weyand's trip and a pending National Security Council meeting frame the debate amid talks of evacuating 100000 to 150000 Vietnamese officials and defectors.
