Nixon sends Connally to Thieu inauguration in Saigon
Washington AP reports President Nixon named John Connally as his official representative for Nguyen Van Thieu's Oct 31 inauguration in Saigon.

The move fuels speculation Connally could be Nixon’s 1972 running mate, though officials deny any link to administration plans. Connally, a longtime Texas governor and former treasury secretary, has repeatedly dismissed talk of vice presidency.
