Phnom Penh Airport Not In Immediate Danger
Defense analysts say Phnom Penh’s main airport is not imminently closed by Communist fire or rebels. U.S. airlift safety was temporarily interrupted by shrapnel on a World Airways DC8, with flights resuming after runway checks. The Okinawa carrier stood offshore for potential evacuation of about 400 Americans, while officials weighed fixed wing and helicopter options. President Ford and Kissinger urged emergency aid, and Cambodian forces were listed as able to defend Pochentong Airport with rebels six miles away.
