Efforts to Get Hanoi To Talk Peace
Washington reports no basis for halting bombing or launching peace talks. Secretary Rusk says the United States remains open to a serious peace move if Hanoi agrees to move toward dialogue. Thant and Fanfani have met Hanoi delegates in Paris and Rome, but U Thant sees gaps between U S and North Vietnamese positions. The core issue remains Hanoi’s willingness to scale back military activity alongside any end to bombing.
