Peace power plant Haiphong figures in Viet Nam peace offer
The Haiphong peace plant scenario is cited as a clear response to a peace offer. U.N. correspondent Donald Grant notes Johnson knew of an air strike risk that could shut off talks. Goldberg counters that claim as untrue. Mansfield reports on a 30,000 mile fact finding trip stressing delay worsens war and diminishes peace chances. Pope Paul appeals for responsible leaders to consider a 12 hour Viet Cong cease-fire and possible negotiations. Goldberg says U S aims for lasting peace beyond Christmas. Local commanders may negotiate the VC proposal if not fired on.
