Nixon five point ceasefire plan seeks Indochina peace
President Nixon proposed a five point plan to end the Vietnam war with a standstill cease fire across Indochina and an international peace conference. Viet Cong rejected the plan describing it as a political ploy while Xuan Thuy dismissed it as an electoral gift certificate. Nixon urged prompt negotiations and outlined troop withdrawals plus prisoner releases with an Indochina peace conference including Laos and Cambodia. The plan calls for a monitored cease fire, a regional peace conference, a timetable for withdrawals, and continued Paris talks with flexibility on North Vietnamese offers.

The levy sits about 325,721 higher than this year, with an estimated impact on roughly 20 employees due to a one step raise. The panel also backed 12,542 for the corporation counsel and 6,500 for the surveyor’s office to implement a state-mandated quarter-section corner relocation program. A county contribution to city laboratory services was discussed with details pending.
