Thieu proposes alternative plan to U.S. Vietnam peace
President Nguyen Van Thieu outlines a plan allowing U.S. withdrawal while he negotiates a cease-fire directly with North Vietnam and the Viet Cong. The scheme would have Hanoi and Washington sign a separate treaty to end bombing and a naval blockade in exchange for POW releases, followed by talks and a political settlement. Thieu’s approach contrasts with Kissinger’s nine point framework and aims to preserve his leverage until favorable terms are secured.

U S Will Retain Advisers in Vietnam After Cease Fire
A high ranking U S Army officer says civilian advisers, largely West Point graduates not in military service, will train South Vietnamese officers after U S troops withdraw. The plan echoes 1954 levels, with a brain trust keeping Vietnamization alive. Cease fire terms call for 60 days after activation for U S withdrawal and materiel halt.
