Henry Kissinger talked about U.S. policy during the Vietnam War, his role, and the lessons learned from the conflict. He also responded to questions from the audience. Topics included America’s promises of support for the South Vietnamese and the Nixon administration’s pursuit of “peace with honor.” Former Secretary Kissinger called the evacuation of Saigon one of the saddest moments of his life, but insisted he had no regrets. The audience included many Vietnam War era figures including policymakers, veterans, and war protesters. Introductory remarks included President Johnson’s two daughters, Lynda Johnson Robb and Luci Baines Johnson, and a video clip of Secretary Kissinger at the signing of the peace treaty. Former Secretary Kissinger spoke with Mark Updegrove at “An Evening with the Honorable Henry Kissinger,” part of a three-day “Vietnam War Summit” held at the LBJ Presidential Library in Austin, Texas. close
