Nixon Peace Offer Seen As Acknowledged Failure
President Nixon framed his Paris peace speech as a concession of failure and disclosed Henry Kissinger’s dozen secret trips to meet with the Communist delegation led by Xuan Thuy. The plan called for a six month withdrawal after an agreement, prisoner exchange, cease fire, and international supervised elections in South Vietnam. Thieu and the VP would resign 30 days before elections, with the South Vietnamese senate president leading the administration. The offer rejected the Communists demand that U.S. support for Thieu end, a point Nixon stated would not change. He hoped public disclosure would push talks forward, but history suggests little forward movement.
