U.S. aides say Paris peace pact voided by Viet Nam crisis
State Department officials said the 1973 Paris peace accords are inoperable due to a major Communist offensive in South Vietnam. They expect a basic policy statement on the pact’s collapse and warn Communists may seek a visible government in Hue rather than vanish. White House aides had briefly claimed a reconvening of accord signatories.

The White House argues that not sending more military aid to South Vietnam undermines any possibility of a negotiated peace. Defense Secretary Schlesinger warns Congress that cutting off aid would be a death warrant for Saigon and Phnom Penh, pushing toward unconditional surrender or futile negotiation. Cambodian Ambassador Um Sim calls for continued U.S. aid to avoid surrender while urging talks in Paris and Saigon.
