Johnson Thieu meet in Australia amid Vietnam peace talks
In Canberra President Nguyen Van Thieu of South Vietnam met President Johnson and endorsed Johnsons peace proposals as fully consistent with Thieus government policy. They issued a joint statement after a working dinner denying conflict over possible informal discussions with the Viet Cong National Liberation Front and signaling openness to discuss with NLf associates while denying Front independence. Johnson, in a Washington interview, said peace could come within days if Thieus informal talks proceed and align with 1954 and 1962 accords and the one man one vote principle.
