On our October 31, 2005 show,
we aired a talk given by U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Michael Marine
at UC Irvine the past Thursday.
He addresses developments in U.S.-Vietnam Relations. See press relesase.
To hear the Ambassador's talk and the subsequent Q&A: click here: .
Press coverage focused on the flag recognition issue:
The Vietnam News Agency ran a dispatch
exulting that the Ambassador was recognizing Vietnam's flag.
That dispatch was picked up in Thanh Nien, a Vietnam-based youth daily.
Locally the Orange County Register ran a column in lieu of a news article
expressing the columnist's concern that
Marine didn't seem to recognize the importance of the defunct flag: "Missing Local Color".
The next day it ran another article on his visit to Orange County: U.S. Official to Vietnam Opens Up.
