Viet Cong Claim U S Bombing Attacks Tripled
Viet Cong spokesmen at a news conference alleged that after Johnson halted bombing North Vietnam, U S B52 sorties against South Vietnam doubled and 1 000 tons of munitions were dropped near Da Nang. They accused the United States of intensifying the war and harming civilians with poison gas. The NLF attacked Vice President Ky, calling him Hitler, and pressed claims to represent South Vietnam in talks with Hanoi. Diplomatic maneuvering focused on who speaks first and the conference table design. Pham Dang Lam led the South Vietnamese delegation in a two hour session with Cyrus R Vance as talks opened.

Clifford Hopeful US Can Start Withdrawal From Vietnam
Defense Secretary Clark M. Clifford said he hopes 40 days of Paris peace talks yield a mutual withdrawal of U.S. troops from South Vietnam. He cautioned it depends on negotiations and noted North Vietnam may pursue a winter offensive. Gen. Abrams prepares for that possibility and a potential $72 billion FY1969 budget request may be needed.

Nixon to name big name Democrat to U N post
President elect Nixon appears set to appoint Sargent Shriver, currently ambassador to France, as U N ambassador with a source confirming the possibility. Shriver met Nixon in New York and Washington amid Kennedy family deliberations as Humphrey previously declined the post. Nixon joked about the Hong Kong flu while planning a nationwide cabinet reveal and discussed welfare funding shifts toward private groups with the Boys Clubs of America. Federal Reserve chief Martin agreed to stay on, signaling inflation concerns, as Nixon prepared for broader top federal selections.
