Prisoner exchange plan collapses amid mutual distrust
In Saigon and Washington the 1971 prisoner swap failed with recriminations and embarrassment. Saigon announced 570 sick or wounded prisoners would be released but could confirm only 13 willing to return to the North. The 13 were to be taken from a U S naval ship outside a cease fire zone, which North Vietnam called a hoax and rejected. Earlier the Thieu inauguration saw 618 Viet Cong natives and 2,320 others granted amnesty.
