ANDERSON & CON SON
Q.
Mr. President: Can you give us your reaction to
Congressman Anderson's suggestion to send a medical
team to Con Son, assuring amnesty to those prisoners
who talked to the investigators; and to his idea of
appointing a commission to study Vietnam's judicial system?

A.
I have not studied the Congressman's proposal; but,
from the way you describe the investigation and the commission,
Should start
there is a need for that kind of thing in most of our 50 states
and the District of Columbia. The court system and jail
system right here in Washington leave something to be
desired. But to the point, President Thieu has already
undertaken an investigation; he is now moving to improve
conditions there; he acted at once, and I think he will be
successful and the improvements there made public. As
for an analysis of the judicial system, we must keep in mind
that South Vietnam is an independent country, an ally of
the United States - - and while we stand ready to help --
how they establish their judicial system is their own business.
