In Vientiane, security forces and neutralist officials navigated a new political reality amid sporadic clashes.

Ky envisions refugee kibbutz for Vietnamese exiles
Former South Vietnamese Vice President Nguyen Can Ky spoke on ABC about creating an Israeli style farming kibbutz for thousands of refugees in the United States perhaps in Arkansas or Texas. He described a self sufficient rural community earning livelihoods by farming while rejecting armed self defense and city living. Ky noted offers of land including 300 to 1000 acres and said his wife has up to 30,000. He urged careful integration and referenced domino theory in regional security remarks.
