"The United States wishes Cambodia to find its place in the world as an independent, neutral, and united country, living in peace."

"I am deeply grateful to them for a job well done."

"I have instructed the personnel of the U.S. Mission to leave Phnom Penh."

"I decided with a heavy heart on the evacuation of American personnel from Cambodia because of my responsibility for the safety of the Americans who have served there so valiantly."
