Cambodian Chief Seeks Assurances on Indochina Peace
Acting Cambodian premier Lt. Gen. Sisowath Sirik Matak planned a 19 day White House visit to seek guarantees that any Indochina cease fire or settlement would not leave Cambodia exposed to Communist Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces. He will discuss security, American aid, and inflation with President Nixon as U S officials request about 185 to 200 million in military aid and 100 million in economic aid. Cambodian fears focus on a third of its territory already controlled by Hanoi and the Viet Cong since the 1970 spillover.
