Ford
Tragedy makes him sick
WASHINGTON (UPI) —
President Ford, contending the
United States has an obligation
to South Vietnam, says he is
“absolutely convinced” that the
$722 million in arms aid he
requested would lead to a
negotiated settlement of the
war.
“The United States did not
carry out its commitment in
the supplying of military
hardware and economic aid to
South Vietnam” in the same
way that Moscow and Peking
backed Hanoi, Ford said.
“I wish we had,” he said. “I
think if we had, this present
tragic situation in South Viet-

nam would not have occurred.”
Displaying his frustration
Wednesday in a meeting of the
American Society of Newspaper
Editors, Ford said, “The
human tragedy of South Viet
nam just makes me sick every
day I hear about it, read about
it, and see it.
“I am absolutely convinced if
Congress made available $722
million in military assistance”
in a few days “the South
Vietnamese could stabilize the
military situation in South
Vietnam today.”
He likened the situation in
Vietnam to “the last minute of
the last quarter of the game.”
“I don’t think we can blame
the Soviet Union, and the
People’s Republic of China for
supplying North Vietnam,”
Ford said.
“If we had done with our
allies what we had promised, I
think this whole tragedy could
have been eliminated.”
Most of the questions cen
tered on South Vietnam and
Cambodia. Ford said Prince
Norodom Sihanouk is “in no
position” to negotiate a Cam
bodian settlement. He said
leaders in Phnom Penh had
asked for a cease-fire and that
the United States would do
what it could to get a
negotiated settlement.
