Peace Proposal Puts Up Obstacles
The new seven point Communist peace package at the Paris talks may block prisoner releases by forcing Saigon to free Viet Cong terrorists. It calls for all prisoners to be released, including hundreds of Viet Cong held by Saigon, potentially clashing with Nixon's demand for release of all war prisoners. Saigon insists the matter of terrorist detainees is internal and outside Paris talks.

Rusk Defends Administration Over Vietnam Deception Claims
Former Secretary of State Dean Rusk says there was no deliberate deception about Vietnam policy in 1964 and that the Johnson and Kennedy administrations underestimated North Vietnamese resolve. He spoke after Pentagon papers sparked renewed debate, noting staff contingencies but denying official plans to bomb during the campaign.
