Backlog of evacuees grows despite 24 hour airlift
UPI reports President Ford promised only the barest minimum of Americans would remain in South Vietnam by nightfall as Saigon cables note a large backlog. At Clark Air Base 2500 Saigon refugees arrived with 500 more expected, nearly doubling the prior total, while a tent city expands to handle up to 4000. In Saigon the Pentagon East area held about 1000 evacuees awaiting flights with estimates of 50 full flights pending. The final departure point is the DAO Activity Section near Tan Son Nhut, where many evacuees wait without sleep or full amenities. The Vietnamese ratio to Americans is about 20 to 1. Ford and Kissinger pressed rapid evacuation to finish by Wednesday morning Saigon time.
