Cleveland industrialist Cyrus Eaton said North Vietnam could be convinced to end the war if Nixon announced a 100000 troop pullout within 60 days and all troops out in 18 months. He spoke after an eight day Hanoi visit and said Vietnamizing the war prolongs it. Eaton argued Hanoi seeks an end but won’t surrender, and cited Soviet and Red China support. He noted U.S. negotiator Harriman lacked authority to seal peace.
