Thieu and Johnson End Vietnam Talk Gap Claims
In Canberra the South Vietnamese president Nguyen Van Thieu and President Johnson said Johnson’s peace ideas align with Thieu’s government policy. They denied conflict over possible informal talks with the Viet Cong National Liberation Front and discussed conditions under which dialogue might occur. Johnson suggested peace could come quickly if Thieu’s informal talks proceed and if they agree to 1954 and 1962 accords and a one man one vote principle. Thieu’s departure remarks in Saigon were cited as a countercourse to Johnson’s stance.
