Lon Nol open to resign to aid peace talks
In Saigon, Cambodian President Lon Nol reportedly offered to step aside if he blocks progress toward peace with the Communist insurgents. Senate leader Mansfield called it a potential breakthrough that could enable negotiations with Norodom Sihanouk, who is in exile. The move is seen as unlikely to occur without U.S. pressure, as Khmer Rouge advances pressure Phnom Penh amid airlifts and encirclement attempts.
