Nixon promised North Vietnam aid claim by McCloskey
Rep. Paul N. McCloskey says a Nixon letter promised 3.25 billion dollars to North Vietnam as part of a Paris Agreement provision. He notes Kissinger denied prior agreed sums, while a House panel seeks meeting with Kissinger to verify the claim amid stalled access to the letter. The discussion centers on economic reconstruction and a hoped bilateral “mutually beneficial relationship.”
