Nixon Peace Plan Praised But Criticized By Communists
President Nixon voiced a major peace initiative calling for an immediate cease-fire in Indochina and an all-indochina conference. Communists at the Paris talks denounced it as a domestic political gimmick aimed at the upcoming elections, while U.S. officials urged Soviet influence to secure acceptance. The plan includes unconditional prisoner releases and U.S. troop withdrawal on a timetable, with an international commission to supervise the truce.
