Subject: [Vsg] Documents on 1975
The National Archives of Australia has just made available thousands
of documents on the 1975 `Fall of Saigon'. They include daily situation
reports, Foreign Affairs advice to the Labor government, Prime
Minister Whitlam's rapid-fire orders to the Australian Embassy, withdrawal of
Australian nationals, Operation Babylift, files on Vietnamese
refugees arriving in Australia, and assistance to over 400 Vietnamese students
already living in Australia. Selected records can be found on the
Archives website (www.naa.gov.au), but for the remainder you'll need
to come to their reading room in pleasant Canberra.
