New Paris Agreement Adds DMZ Movement Clause
The joint communique mirrors the original Paris accord but allows North Vietnam to move war materials into South Vietnam via a designated DMZ entry only as replacements. It omits withdrawal of an estimated 145,000 North Vietnamese troops and notes ongoing U.S. bombings in Cambodia nearing 100 days. Up to 100,000 NVA remain in Laos and Cambodia aiding logistics for South Vietnam forces.
