TRANSCRIPT: SEQ 1. MME. BINH: "MR. NIXON HAS SAID THAT THE VIETNAMISATION PLAN WILL LEAD TO THE END OF THE WAR INDEPENDENTLY OF WHAT IS GOING ON THE NEGOTIATIONS FRONT. THIS STATEMENT PROVES THAT THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION IS HANGING ON TO HIS OBSTINATE POSITION AT THE CONFERENCE TABLE, AND HE HOPES BY THIS VEITNAMISATION OF THE WAR TO ACHIEVE AN END TO THE PATRIOTIC FIGHTING OF THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE POPULATION. I CONSIDER IT NECESSARY TO EXPOSE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NIXON ADMINISTRATION CONCERNING THE OBSTACLES CREATED AGAINST THE PROGRESS OF THE PARIS CONFERENCE ON VIETNAM AND AT THE SAME TIME TO WARM THEM THAT, AS THE INTENSIVE AMERICANIZATION HAD FAILED NOT LONG AGO, SO THE CURRENT VIETNAMISATION WILL FAIL".
