Chau, head of the strongly neutral Paris-based VN Overseas
Buddhists, conditionally withdrew opposition to Thieu's remaining.
He said if a cease-fire is part of an agreement for US pullout and
tripartite govt. "we will no longer consider him an important
figure" as is "no longer capable of doing harm to our people or
religion. 11 He added that Thieu has been a major obstacle to
peace and nat'l reconciliation.
UPI says settlement is now believed to hinge on Hanoi's
reaction to the 'hard cease-fire" terms laid down by Thieu.
NVN delegation in Paris said Thieu proved again that he "obstinately
opposes peace" and acts as "a speaking trumpet" for US.
Kosygin
said SU will back NVN and VC until US "aggression" is ended.
A group of US lawyers who talked w/Pham Van Dong feel chance
for peace in the near future is "very dim indeed. 11
UPI's Hensley says the tough conditions Thieu has set underlines
the problems RN faces in arranging a cease-fire. They also could
diminish some of the more optimistic speculation that had built up.
US officials acknowledged Thieu had a valid point when he insisted
on some form of internat'l guarantees -- particularly by PRC and
SU. But sympathy for some of Thieu's positions didn't mean, said
the officials, agreement w/all that he said. Hensley says US is now
in a position of having secured from NVN a general proposal which
comes very close to meeting RN's May 8 conditions, but it's not yet
found a way to work out w/SVN the specific mechanics to implement
the plan.
From the WH, Rather (over silent film of RN w/HAK and
Rogers) said HAK will meet w/Tho again and probably will meet
Thieu again. Thieu, said Dan, may insist on a face-to-face
meeting w/RN. Sources say chances of an actual pre-election
cease-fire are iffy, while chances of a cease-fire in principle are
still over half. One source, said reporter, said "mighty, mighty,
mighty big problems" remain -- and he said mighty 3 times for
emphasis.
Except to reiterate there'd been "some progress", said Jarriel
er.RN/HAK/Rogers film, the WH remained officially silent on
bombing letup over North and on Thieu's speech. Except for broad
goals as seen in RN remarks to vets and a little teasing w/phrases
like "progress, 11 WH is silent, said Jarriel. But SVN and NVN are
