Hanoi offers talks on Vietnam settlement amid bombing row
Hanoi proposed talks on a political settlement while rejecting a U S offer to trade peace moves for a halt to bombing.

Ambassador Harriman tied a buffer zone to halting all war actions, urging North Vietnam to prove readiness to reestablish the zone before negotiations on de escalation.
