Christmas Truce Up To Saigon In Vietnam War Talks
The Texas White House said any Christmas bombing pause against North Vietnam would be decided in Saigon, not by President Johnson. Aide Joseph Laitin indicated the matter hinges on Saigon and the secretary of state’s earlier remarks. Officials noted a possible 24 hour lull on the U S South Vietnam side if the Communists refrain from action, while the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese considered a 12 hour Christmas Eve to Christmas morning halt. Public comments were limited as State Department officials declined to discuss speculative reports.
