Saigon Rejects Viet Cong Coalition Bid in Peace Talks

Saigon declined the Viet Cong call for a provisional coalition but agreed to discuss several points in the 10 point peace program. A Foreign Ministry communiqué listed prisoner exchanges, demilitarized zones, and adherence to the 1962 Laos Geneva agreements as topics for possible talks. A captured U S document from Saigon indicated the Viet Cong’s high command plans a summer offensive aimed at pressuring Saigon to accept negotiations, withdraw U S troops, and recognize the National Liberation Front. The Viet Cong’s plan envisions a more aggressive campaign than the spring offensive, targeting U S and South Vietnamese forces and infrastructure. The NLF seeks a coalition government and U S forces withdrawal through force.
