Main Proposals For South Vietnam Political Settlement
Paris reports outline a plan for a political settlement in South Vietnam. Proposals call for a national council of reconciliation, free elections, a Constituent Assembly, demobilization of armed forces, and non South Vietnamese withdrawal with equal demobilization of forces. The provisional government and Saigon would cooperate to implement phased disarmament, political freedoms, and prisoner releases, with timelines for electoral law and mediation.
