The Miller Center’s Tom Van der Voort on the Chennault Affair
What does Nixon’s correspondence with South Vietnam say about politics today?
Since 1799 the Logan Act has forbidden United States citizens from engaging in unauthorized correspondence with foreign governments. However, Richard Nixon’s presidential campaign advised the South Vietnamese government not to enter peace talks with the Lyndon Johnson administration, citing a better deal they might receive under a Nixon presidency.
In this episode of Archive Secrets, Tom van der Voort of the Miller Center, a political think-tank at the University of Virginia, takes us back to 1968 and what we now call the Chennault Affair. The center’s recordings of Nixon and Johnson unpack treason and offer an interesting perspective on the 2016 US presidential election and foreign influence within our own political moment.
Starchive is used by many universities to organize historical content and recordings and make that content accessible for public research.
