It was President Thieu who would not allow the general elections to be held, would not allow the communists access to the press, permission to run candidates or the freedom to hold open rallies in support of those candidates--all provided for in the Paris accord. Yet the United States supports Thieu with economic and military aid, both of which will be increased in the next year if Congress doesn't implement its new foreign aid provisions limiting President Ford's powers...
