Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit February 4, 1985, No. 644, Docket 84-7778 (Vishipco Line v. Chase Manhattan Bank N.A.)

IRVING R. KAUFMAN, Circuit Judge:

America’s military involvement in South Vietnam is more than a decade behind us, but the vestigial effects of the fall of Saigon are still manifest. Today we are called upon to address one of the many commercial disputes produced by that sad experience.

We note that this is the second time this case has reached us on appeal. See Vishipco Line v.
