Egotist ors w. Aver Ell Hanniman of the United states and Xuan Thuy of North \ Vietnam resolved none of the main issues but regularly met in private to Iron out procedural problems. By january 1989, when president Nixon took office Harri Man and Thuy had agreed to bring South Vietnam and the Viet Cong into the talks they also reached a tacit understanding never openly acknowledged by Hanoi for a total halt in american bombing of North Vietnam in Exchange for a North vietnamese undertaking to reduce infiltration across the demilitarized zone and to Stop Large scale rocket attacks on South vietnamese cities. Backstage friction arose Between Harriman and the South vietnamese1 represent lives including for a time vice presi Dent Nguyen Cao by who accused the american negotiator of allowing himself to be a taken in by the communists a a Nixon named Henry Cabot Lodge former u. S envoy in Saigon to replace Harriman but the talks were freezing into a sterile repetition of propaganda speeches by both sides week after week the four delegations read prepared statements accusing each other of refusing to negotiate v gtd Lodge repeatedly pleaded in sin with Thuy to resume private discussions. Thuy s refusal to do so stemmed from Hanoi s apparently unshakable deter i nation to have no dealing with the Saigon government of president Nguyen Van Thieu they offered to hold three sided talks including the United states and the Viet Cong Lodge refused to be drawn into such a disavowal of Saigon or to give implicit recognition to the Viet Cong claim to speak for tie South vietnamese population.

Page 81 playing role to Hilt with Nixon Senate historically Center of controversy by Joe Hall associated press writer Washington a the United states Senate storm Center of National controversy Over much of its existence has played the role to the Hilt in the opening months of the Nixon administration. Bitter fights Over the Vietnam War appointments to the supreme court National tax policy and civil rights have come to swirling climaxes on the Senate floor or in its committee rooms. The fact that the Senate is the primary pit for do Bate on Public issues a fact lost on few if any presidents of the United states finally has dawned on the youth of America intent upon questioning the judgment of their riders. When the Vietnam moratorium committee concluded that Street demonstrations no longer were an effect ure tactic for protesting the War an dolts leaders went their separate Way it one of them signed on with tie National student association to organize students for political action specifically to work in this Summers campaigns for the Senate. To David Hawk it was a simple choke. Quot the Senate Quot he said Quot is where the action As if heeding his advice this Day finds hundreds of Rouege aged youngsters trudging the corridors of the Capitol practically stumbling Over themselves As they buttonhole congressmen and senators urging a vote against president Nixon a policies in Southeast Asia. While members of House Are getting their share of advice die Young people Are concentrating on the Senate urged on by such senators As Democrat Richard wiggles of Iowa who has instructed some of them in the techniques of lobbying and Democrat George Mcgovern of South Dakota who made it Plain Why the Senate should be their no. 1 target. Quot this is where we have a Chance to Stop the War a Mcgovern told them. Whether the Senate has a Chance or not it is Likely to spend the next several weeks trying As it takes up s series of proposals to Cut off funds for die War in Cambodia to repeal the Tonkin Gulf Resolute to set limits on the amount of Quot excess military equipment the Pentagon can hand Over to Friendly nations in a head to head fight with the Nixon administration. It will not be the first confrontation Between the two Ner is it Likely to be the last. While few presidents have had reason to View the Senate As anything More than a Cross they had to Bear none has had More reason to View it sourly than Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon. In fact the present series of disputes began before Nixon when the senators decided their old Leader Johnson could t have is Friend Abe Fortas As chief Justice of the United states. Fortas earlier confirmed As one of the High courts justices resigned last year after disclosures concerning outside financial activities. Johnson went on to have Trou be with the Senate Over the 10 income surtax and oth roasters an area that to produce conflict Between the senators and has made the Sparks Fly. Not since the Century a second decade when president Woodrow Wilson fought and lost Over the league of nations have foreign relations been so bitter and divisive an Issue Between the White Houst and Senate. At first in the mid-1960s, the major Antiwar senators were Wayne Morse of Oregon and Alaska s Ernest Gruening both democrats and both losers in 1968 re election bids.
