He says the purchase was not approved by the authority and questions conflicts of interest. He criticizes J William McCray’s claim that the body knew nothing of the deal.

U.S. peace team mulls double negotiations plan
U.S. negotiators in Paris study holding two separate talks to restart the Paris talks. One track would be between the United States and North Vietnam on military de escalation, the other between South Vietnam and the Viet Cong on a political settlement. Saigon endorsed the idea in vague terms, but South Vietnam refuses to recognize the Viet Cong. The NLF said it would release more U.S. prisoners to show its humanitarian policy.
