After participating in Tokyo ceremonies that formally returned Okinawa to Japanese control, the Vice President paid a three-hour visit to Saigon. Back in Washington, he briefed President Nixon on his trip, then told newsmen that Nixon's actions had reduced Communist capabilities to "only a couple more months of activity."
