Nixon Plans Hanoi Visit and Indochina Reconstruction
President Nixon said Henry Kissinger will travel to Hanoi February 10 to 13 to press for postwar peace and discuss reconstruction for all of Indochina. He announced a spring meeting with South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu in San Clemente to push a reconstruction program, signaling a potential investment in peace. Nixon warned Congress on funding, citing an estimated $7.5 billion and the need to negotiate costs. He criticized deserter amnesty, defended impounding funds, and said two American fliers may be released as Viet Nam talks proceed, with no guarantee for Downey’s 1976 release. He ruled out European trips in early 1973.
