Mansfield forecasts peace by 1970 amid Vietnam talks
Senate Leader Mike Mansfield said little progress toward ending the Vietnam war has occurred in the past year and settlement will likely come through private negotiations. He cited Nguyen Van Thieu’s openness to talks with the Vietcong, and urged peace by year’s end while advocating a token U.S. troop withdrawal and opposing probes into Laos and Cambodia.
