Attempt To Step Up Peace Talks Rejected
The United States proposed private session talks in Vietnam to address core issues, but North Vietnam rejected as a tactic to hide aggression. Habib floated restricting speeches to focus on real issues, with no progress at the 64 hour 49th plenary. The plan envisions Viet Namization and a continued move to South Vietnamese forces if negotiations fail.

Weekly US war toll dips to second lowest in three years
In Vietnam last week sixty five American soldiers were killed in combat, the second lowest weekly toll in three years, lifting total U.S. combat deaths since Jan 1, 1981 to 40,044 and with at least 30 more Americans killed since Saturday. Wounded fell to 477, the smallest in over two years, bringing total American wounded to 253,003. Saigon reports 904 government troops killed, up 61 percent from the prior week, with 796 wounded, the lowest in two months. Allied forces killed 1,999 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong, revised from 1,888 previous week. Cease-fires for New Year and Christmas week hinder casualty assessment. The week’s totals mark the lowest since early October and December 3, 1966 lows for comparison.
