Laird says bombing will halt only after DMZ invasion ends
Defense Secretary Melvin Laird told ABC that the United States will not stop bombing North Vietnam unless the North Vietnamese pull back from the DMZ and honor the 1951 and 1969 accords. He tied halting the raids to a negotiated settlement or a clear DMZ violation remedy, noting the Nixon peace proposal could end bombing if accepted. He warned of continued North Vietnamese capability for serious actions this year but stated the United States would withhold bombing termination until violations are addressed.
