Hoff praised the Kennedy McCarthy bloc totaling about 85 percent against Johnson Humphrey roughly 15 percent and indicated plans to campaign for Kennedy in California.

Meeting on Vietnam Peace Talks Delivers Five Areas of Agreement
Paris reports U.S. diplomat Harriman and North Vietnam’s Xuan Thuy at the second full session of war talks outlined five common positions. They favor an independent or neutral South Vietnam, adherence to Geneva accords, internal affairs settled by South Vietnam, peaceful reunification, and respect for 1954 military provisions. Harriman listed urgent steps toward peace including restoring the DMZ, Laos compliance, Cambodian neutrality, and ending Viet Cong terror. Thuy disputed U.S. claims, accusing Washington of aggression and requesting no rewriting of history. The session ended with no breakthrough and a plan to meet again Saturday morning.
