Hanoi Denies Advance Made
The Johnson administration faces a stormy dispute over publishing correspondence on a conditional peace offer from North Vietnam. Officials say no new U.S. action has been decided while Hanoi denies sending any peace feeler. A U.N. envoy and intermediaries defend the disclosure as necessary for credibility, amid calls to move talks to the conference table. A separate note from Jerusalem mentions a U.S. Senate delegation visiting holy sites before Christmas.
