Deadline Would Free Prisoners If Dec. 31 Withdraws
Clark Clifford argues a Dec 31 withdrawal deadline from Indochina could bring home American POWs within a month. He cites private conversations with Americans and non-Americans and says North Vietnamese and Viet Cong might refrain from attacks during withdrawal. Rep Leggett says VC negotiators in Paris hinted at prisoner release if a date is set, but Hanoi did not indicate a change in position. White House and State Department officials dismissed shifts in stance. Clifford’s 30 day rule ties release to commitment, urging prompt confirmation and possible Christmas deadline.
