THE PRESIDENT HAS SEEN
The President's eight-point peace offer, coupled with the
revelations about the secret negotiations and Henry K's trips
to Paris sweeps all before it on the front pages of the nation's
top press this morning. As a same, these are headlines in the
Post, the Times and the Sun respectively.
NIXON BARES SECRET PEACE TALKS;
VIET PULLOUT, ELECTIONS OFFERED
Kissinger Held Sessions with Foe
in 13 Paris Trips
The Times
NIXON DISCLOSES A PEACE PLAN
INCLUDING NEW SAIGON ELECTION
SAYS NORTH VIETNAM IGNORED IT
Sun:
US OFFERS PULLOUT, THIEU RESIGNATION
IF REDS FREE POWS, Agree to Cease-Fire
The story sweeps all aside; for example; the Post Which is the
latest paper we got in here has ne fewer than five front page
stories.
If one were to characterize early reaction, it would be thhis:
We have not reconciled the irreconcilables; they are busy nit-
picking already. Others, like Scoop Jackson, and critics on the
near left, seem to be describing it as generous, although perhaps
we should still go further. Everything from center to right seems
to be very favorable on the proposal. Even Ashbrook expressed
approval RN had not given in to left demands. Clearly, thus far
the criticism of the Preisdent has been softened; there is a new
appreciation and understanding of RN's efforts; but those who
want out regardless, have not been stilled. That would be my
characterization of the early returns.
Few expect Hanoi to accept; and many feel that the President's
effort to still domestic criticism was a rafson d'etre of speech.
