Ambassa dor Ellsworth Bunker to return for talks
The average congressman's idea of waste is a dollar spent in another district, said Ambassa dor Ellsworth Bunker. He would return to Washington from Saigon on Tuesday to continue the strategy conference in Honolulu before the slaying of Martin Luther King Jr. and ensuing disorders. The White House said Hanoi had not yet responded officially to the U.S. bid for preliminary talks that could lead to peace negotiations. US officials acknowledged there had been contacts but not a real agreement to begin talks. The U.S., despite differences with North Vietnam on where talks might be held, does not expect to abandon negotiations.
