Saigon group proposes seven point cease fire plan
The Saigon delegation to the Joint Military Commission issued a seven point plan aimed at implementing the Vietnam cease fire. It calls for zone delineation to platoon level and talks on pre truce positions. High level officials from all four parties would appeal to stop fighting. The proposal also seeks observers, prompt investigations, and talks to unite field commanders. Saigon rejects ICCS probe into Loc Ninh air attacks and US denial of charges. Air pollution damages US agriculture up to 280 million dollars yearly.
