Peace plan hinges on North Vietnam pullback and a UN force

U S officials weigh a partial withdrawal by Hanoi from northern South Vietnam while a broad international peacekeeping effort would be sanctioned within 30 days of an accord. The plan envisions a ceasefire with 145 000 North Vietnamese troops potentially remaining near Saigon areas, and calls for discussions involving the Soviet Union China the United States Britain North Vietnam the Viet Cong South Vietnam and France. Washington seeks an unwritten understanding for withdrawal of some forces and a monitoring group to verify reductions. The report notes Cambodia and Laos locations as part of a broader battlefield and underlines the urgency of a credible ceasefire supported by a UN peacekeeping mission. The piece also touches on domestic concerns in Saigon about peacekeeping and the broader strategic shifts in the decade.
