Thieu Resignation Clears Way for Peace Talks
The resignation of South Vietnam's President Nguyen Van Thieu reduces a public obstacle to negotiated peace. Kissinger and Ford discussed implications at the White House. Some officials fear the move may come too late and question changes in Congress on military aid. In Paris the Viet Cong demanded full U.S. withdrawal and a national concord regime as a condition for settlement. Sparkman cautioned the step might ease tensions and allow negotiations, though he doubted it would alter congressional reluctance on aid.
