The new President of South Vietnam, Trần Văn Hương, proposed a ceasefire in the fighting and negotiations, a really delusional proposition given that the NVA was about to take Saigon.
Huong was a politician who had been into a family so poor, that his parents had given him away to be raised by foster parents. He initially was a teacher. He had been a member of the Việt Minh but left when Communist domination became too strong in the organization. Unlike many of his fellows, he remained in Vietnam, even after he was imprisoned following the war.
The Department of Justice made plans to admit 130,000 Vietnamese refugees into the US.
