Nixon Offers Eight-Point Vietnam Peace Plan With Drawdown
President Nixon unveiled eight concrete proposals aimed at accelerating a peace process in Vietnam. The plan calls for mutual withdrawals of major forces over 12 months once agreement is reached, and warns Hanoi against further offensives while urging U.S. support for self determination in South Vietnam. White House aides say the timing aims to thaw Paris deadlock as Cabot Lodge travels to Paris to brief negotiators and President Nixon delivers a nationwide address.
