- Abstract:
  The article focuses on the debate between the Congress and the White House on South Viet Nam. It reveals that President Gerald Ford has requested for 722 million dollars in emergency military aid for the South Viet Nam government. Ford also emphasizes that the military aid can help the country stabilize its military situation. However, it mentions that many Congressmen oppose to vote on military aid for South Viet Nam. Others express their concern that the South Viet Nam government will turn on Americans because of the additional military aid. Controversies surrounding "secret agreements" between the U.S. and South Viet Nam governments also resurface.
