Viet Nam peace signing eyed for this weekend in Paris
United States officials expect a document to be signed by North and South Vietnam and the Viet Cong this weekend in Paris to implement the January cease-fire. Kissinger and Le Duc Tho drafted the pact, with a formal signing possible Saturday or Sunday at the International Conference Center on Avenue Kleber. A last minute triangular dispute over the document’s form delayed talks, but Saigon’s Thieu government was not expected to refuse.
