Hoff Sees Little Hope For Viet Peace Talks
Gov Philip Hoff after returning from South Viet Nam argues negotiations with Viet Cong leadership are ruled out since they take orders from North Viet Nam. He notes a distinct possibility Viet Cong troops may simply stop fighting. Hoff praises pacification efforts but decries the word as a label for military actions. He sees no path to a democracy based on U.S. concepts, favoring a strong leader to root out corruption. Hoff also urges interagency flexibility on natural resources funding and discusses a potential sister state link with Yamagata Prefecture Japan.
