Saigon says peace talks require its own participation
The Saigon government informs the 28th weekly session of the Vietnam peace talks that no decision about South Vietnam can be made without its involvement and approval. A young Japanese man with a knife attempted to attack U.S. diplomats at Tokyo International Airport, but police say it was not Secretary Rogers or Ambassador Meyer. U.S. battlefield deaths in Vietnam last week drop to a nine month low, while Senate Democrats push for a six month extension of the 10 percent surtax and House tax reformers weigh changes to the standard deduction or personal exemption. House members in Austin begin debating a 3.7 billion spending bill. Malcom Toon informs Czechoslovakia’s president that the U.S. supports free self-determination for all peoples.
