Secretary of State Dean Rusk urged NATO ministers to provide aid of any sort for South Vietnam during the Paris meeting. He pressed Western allies to pursue constructive steps to improve East West relations and warned urgency in winding up Vietnam support. Diplomatic observers doubted new aid would emerge, with Turkey ruling out troops and France wary of easing U.S. ties while the war continues. Rusk met with George Brown and Charles de Gaulle, and later Willy Brandt to discuss Berlin and a divided Germany.
