Page "Bui Tin" Paragraph 10

* " American anti-war movement was essential to our strategy.

Support for the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable.

Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio at 9 a. m. to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement.

Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses.

We were elated when Jane Fonda, wearing a red Vietnamese dress, said at a press conference that she was ashamed of American actions in the war and that she would struggle along with us.
