U.S. Ambassador Pete Peterson meets Vietnamese community
Irvine -- Subversity, a KUCI public affairs program, this evening features
excerpts from the Vietnamese community's tete a tete with U.S. Ambassador
to Vietnam Douglas ("Pete") Peterson, a former POW in the "Hanoi Hilton",
this afternoon in Garden Grove. Subversity airs this evening, Tuesday,
November 25, 1997, from 5-6 p.m. on KUCI, 88.9 FM in Orange County. With
Peterson was Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez (D-Garden Grove).
Peterson defended U.S. trade ties with Vietnam as part of a "constructive
engagement" to better conditions there. Peterson faced local
anti-communists, one of whom accused Peterson of representing the
Vietnamese government instead of the American.
To discuss this issue, feel free to call (714) 824-5824 during the show
today.
Subversity previously has aired a speech given by Peterson's
counterpart, Vietnam Ambassador to U.S. Le Van Bang, before the World
Affairs Council of Orange County. Show host is Daniel C. Tsang
(824-4978).
