U S Diplomats Rally Behind Noted Peace Efforts
U S diplomats and officials travel widely as part of a broad peace initiative. Averell Harriman chats with Poland's foreign minister in Warsaw while Foy Kohler visits Soviet President Podgorny. Humphrey travels via Japan toward Manila, seeking Japan's aid and advice. Possible mentions of Vietnam at Formosa and South Korea stops, though no Korea visit. Some speculate a Hanoi visit by Shelepin may fit the peace push. Global leaders, including Pope Paul VI, back efforts toward peace in Vietnam and beyond.
