Nixon Proposes Flexible Peace Terms After Paris Talks
In Paris, President Nixon outlined flexible peace offers tied to basic U.S. aims. Senators Fulbright Stennis and Pord praised aspects while urging U.S. withdrawal. Harriman urged a negotiated reduction in violence. Nixon said talks could explore any program if consistent with core principles, including South Vietnamese self-determination and avoiding a bigger war. He left open a possible informal understanding rather than a formal settlement.
