Clifford proposal stirs North Vietnam and allies debate
The Associated Press reports North Vietnam aired Clark Clifford's plan to pull about 250000 U.S. troops from South Vietnam within 18 months, while allies Thailand and South Korea criticized the idea. Thailand noted its limited 2500 troops in 1967 and later a division, and Korea warned against appeasement. The Paris talks yielded no clear North Vietnamese withdrawal reply.
