The president was on a three day visit to Bangkok, Thailand when he made the unscheduled side trip to Vietnam, landing at Tan Son Nhut at noon on Wednesday, July 30th, 1969. The visit lasted 5 1/2 hours. From Tan Son Nhut he flew by Huey with Kissinger to the Presidential Palace in Saigon to visit with President Thieu. That visit lasted 2 1/2 hours. From there he flew with Kissinger to Di An, an army base 12 miles north of Saigon, home to the 2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division. At Di An he visited with military commanders and spent about an hour visiting with the troops before returning to Tan Son Nhut, by Huey.
