To erase the impression that he had given Johnson unconditional support for any contingency, Nixon later in the week said that he had made his pledge with the understanding that there would be "prior consultation and prior agreement" between himself and the White House before any major step was taken in foreign affairs.

Thieu's task is equally complicated. Standing up to the U.S. won him such enthusiastic support from Saigon's politicians and generals that he felt compelled at one point to promise: "I will try to keep flexing my muscle as long as I can." At the same time, he was prudently laying the groundwork for sending a delegation to the talks...
