Former S. Vietnam leader will resettle in the US

June 1, 1983

A former South Vietnamese prime minister who escaped from his homeland on his 14th attempt was accepted by the United States for resettlement, diplomatic sources said.

They said Nguyen Van Loc, prime minister from 1967 to 1968 and now living in a refugee camp here, was treated as a special case because of his association with the former US-backed government in Saigon.
