Cambodia Evacuation Ended as U S closes Phnom Penh Embassy
The United States evacuated 276 people from Phnom Penh including 82 Americans and 159 Cambodians in a two hour airlift protected by Marines. Acting President Sau Kham Khoy and remaining ministers were evacuated as Khmer Rouge closed within one mile of the airport. The operation, ordered by President Ford, marked a virtual abandonment of Cambodia with most of the nation under insurgent control.
