Viet Cong sought to send two representatives to New York
United States Ambassador to the United Nations Arthur J. Goldberg said the Viet Cong had asked the UN Secretariat in late September for visas for two representatives to visit New York for a year or two but later withdrew the request saying they would not seek UN status and would instead grant interviews to news media. He noted the episode did not aid Vietnam peace negotiations and that the U.S. would grant visas if the representatives were invited to appear before the General Assembly or Security Council.
