Video: 'Vietnam a Television History Episode 11' (Apr. 5, 1975, at 34:33)

(Saturday, April 5, 1975; during the 1975 Spring Offensive of the Vietnam War, part of the Indochina Wars and Cold War) — Just back from South Vietnam, General Frederick Weyand met today with U.S. President Gerald Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at Palm Springs.

They concluded that a military deadlock was their best hope. Even if only part of South Vietnam could be defended, the Communists might agree to a political deal — with or without South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu.
