Release of Pueblo Crewmen Deemed Kooky By Officials
SPENCER DAVIS reports that the Pueblo crew release followed a strange diplomatic tactic in which U S signs a statement admitting guilt after North Korea preps that the document is a lie. Secretary of State Dean Rusk called the method kooky and said no precedent exists for such contradictory statements. Maj. Gen. Gilbert Woodward signed the statement despite noting it conflicted with U S position and said his signature aimed only to free the crew.

Viet Cong rejects direct talks with Saigon leaders
Viet Cong leader Tran Buu Kiem says direct talks with the current Saigon rulers are impossible as they do not represent the South Vietnamese population. Vice President Ky returns to Saigon and clarifies that talks would be with individual NLF leaders in South Vietnam, not as an equal partner or coalition. The dispute over negotiating status delays expanded peace talks and the conference format remains unresolved.
