Yale professor Staughton Lynd and Thomas Hayden returned from a North Viet Nam trip asserting that an honorable solution exists. They urged U.S. troop withdrawal as a condition for negotiations and said North Viet Nam doubts U.S. peace efforts while pledging limited freedom in how to show a decision.
