    Description

    Background: If you look at the photo of the front cover, you will see at top, Statue of Liberty, at bottom, Vietnamese riding water buffalo. The title is in Vietnamese (that I don't understand).   On the first page it appears that this pamphlet was produced at Southeastern State University, Durant, OK, 74701.  It looks like this was a document that was produced to help South Vietnamese---who elected to leave South Vietnam---at the close of the war---when the US was leaving. These people who wanted to leave South Vietnam----were people who served in the South Vietnam Army, were workers for the US in South Vietnam, or were senior officers, translators and such. I am thinking that the US felt an obligation to help these people leave Vietnam, so they would not have to go into re-education camps, or worse. I think that the US government came up with the idea to give a contract to the University----where Vietnamese and Americans would come up with a document, to help the newcomers to know how the US government was set up, so that they could adjust. Most of the information is in Vietnamese, but every so often there would be an English translation.  The booklet measures about 9 x 11 inches and has 88 pages. Pretty neat research item, and would think that South Vietnamese who came to the US would find it most interesting--- and others interested in what happened to the Vietnamese who were to come to a "new" country.
    Important Note: If you live in an apartment make sure to take measures where your packages are not just left outside
    your door where any passerby could take them. Perhaps you can put up a note on the outside of the door, asking USPS
    to knock on the door, and if no answer, to NOT leave the package but DO leave a card telling  a delivery was attempted
    and that it can be picked up the package at the USPS.  Once there is a record that the package has been delivered---
    it is out of my hands and I have fulfilled my obligation as to Ebay rules. I always ship using an ebay label and there is a
    tracking number that you will have access to, so you can always see when the package is being delivered.
