Whether because of Soviet pressure or its own fatigue, Viet Nam dropped its insistence that a fall pullout could take place only if all aid to the forces opposing its puppet government in Phnom Penh, including those of Prince Norodom Sihanouk and the murderous Khmer Rouge, was simultaneously halted. Kampuchea reserved the right to seek "assistance" once more if such aid continued, but many analysts believe Hanoi is more interested in concentrating on its own sadly deteriorated economy. The Vietnamese hope their withdrawal will ultimately open up economic links to the U.S., which has long made their departure a condition...

But then Sihanouk, who ruled Kampuchea (then called Cambodia) until 1970, quit his job again...
...Sann and Prince Norodom Ranariddh, son of Prince Sihanouk, traveled to Washington last week to seek Administration approval for such an appropriation. Said Son Sann after meeting with Secretary of State George Shultz: "I am sure the U.S. will come to our aid. I ask for assistance, not U.S. troops." Shultz reportedly made no commitments, but Son Sann said that he was assured by the Secretary that he was "among friends...
