Peace pact possible within 60 days in Paris talks
Kissinger says one more negotiating session of three to four days is needed before signing. Hanoi editorials warn the U S must sign or face intensified war as Viet Cong attacks rise. Pravda backs immediate signing while Pope Paul VI hopes for true peace. Agnew doubts a Tuesday signature and sees no major rift with Thieu. Disagreement centers on North Vietnamese troops in the South, with Lam demanding withdrawal while Washington relaxes prior demands. The treaty would keep the country under elected Thieu officials.
