Viet Cong says goal is coalition government in Saigon
Viet Cong chief delegate Mrs. Nguyen Thi Binh told a Paris news conference that the aim of the offensive in South Vietnam is to liberate all of South Vietnam and install a government of national concord seated in Saigon.

The United States and Saigon rejected resuming negotiations, citing insufficient seriousness from the Communists. Red China reiterated support for North Vietnam and said the Vietnamization program suffered a major setback.
