Harriman Renews Aid Offer to Southeast Asia
U.S. Ambassador Harriman renewed President Johnsons $1 billion aid offer for a postwar Southeast Asian economic program.

Thuy cited Johns Hopkins speech of April 7, 1965, and called for genuine peaceful settlement with industrialized nations aiding Asia. See HARRIMAN Page 18, Col. 3
