US Sought Soviet Help for South Vietnam Coalition in 1966
A captured North Vietnamese document asserts the United States aimed to win Soviet support for a South Vietnamese coalition government including Communists. Le Duan, in a 1966 report, said Washington planned to appoint a prime minister with France and name a vice premier and a Viet Cong figure as second deputy. He claimed the talks could yield a settlement within a month, with ongoing fighting until negotiations end.
