State Department backs Nixon on Ho Chi Minh letter
The State Department affirmed Nixon’s view that Ho Chi Minh’s August letter rejected his move toward advancing the Paris peace talks. The department’s paper notes Nixon’s July 15 1969 private letter proposing progress, saying Ho’s response omitted any opening for bargaining and repeated demand for U.S. troop withdrawal. Ho’s letter was received before his death and urged mutual good will toward a correct solution of the Vietnamese problem.
