Goldberg Pushes UN Peace Effort in Viet Nam
United Nations Ambassador Arthur J. Goldberg speeds up U S peace offensive seeking a constructive UN role in Vietnam. No Security Council agreement yet on how to proceed and no immediate formal session planned. He notes the Honolulu declaration may not hinder UN talks and cites US aim for an honorable peace. He seeks Hanoi’s response on recognizing the Viet Cong front but says it is not the South Vietnamese government. The United States expects the council to clarify issues and possibly pursue a peace conference if representation is negotiable.
