The Vietnamese Communists at Paris proposed freeing all U.S. prisoners if Washington withdraws from Vietnam by year end. The plan, presented by Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh, includes a gradual release with the U.S. pullout but also calls for ouster of the Saigon regime and a coalition government. White House officials called some elements unacceptable and emphasized no deal that hands Vietnam to the Communists.
