Everything wasn't happening in Czechoslovakia. Don't take it wrong, however, Paul. French don't know shit on what happens in US and your question is logical. At the time, US was more concerned with what was happening behind the Iron Curtain. And that was much more important.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that US officials kept an eye on Paris. Students and workers were protesting under red flags with their heroes being Mao Zedong and Che Guevara. What is interesting is one thesis on the subject. Evidences seem to point out that Moscow could have supported the french government against the protesters. In fact, that could make sense, US would have not tolerated a soviet take over of France.
