Haig and Thieu Hold Marathon Vietnam Talks
In Saigon Gen. Alexander Haig and President Thieu met for more than three hours in a second lengthy conference on a proposed peace package. A U.S. embassy spokesman said Haig would not reveal his schedule, and a senior Saigon official said the talks reaffirmed U.S. military and economic backing for Saigon while rejecting a coalition government. The disagreement centers on the draft cease-fire language and the status of a proposed National Council.
