Hanoi repeats four point stand as basis for settlement
North Vietnam's radio aired an authorized statement reiterating Premier Pham Van Dong's four points as a basis for settlement. The broadcast follows Dong's interview with New York Times reporter Harrison Salisbury and clarifies that the points are not fixed preconditions for talks. The four points demand U S troop withdrawal, recognition of Vietnam's sovereignty, end to acts of war, and settlement by Vietnamese, without foreign interference. The U S State Department said it could halt bombing once Hanoi signals a step toward scaling down hostilities.
