January 4, 1973
(Wed. nets and whes,dent HAS SEEN
The major stories of the day:
-
For the second night in a row, what seems to be a rebellion on
Hill over VN was featured on all nets. The ritual and banter of
the Hill return didn't conceal the rebellion over war and loss of
power to WH, said Rather in lead. And Chancellor led by saying
leaders are the same, but "new and different" is the apparent
Hill seriousness on cutting off VN funds. In ABC lead, Smith
said Dems showed "a wholly new mood of challenge and defiance. 11
Mudd said Hill was determined to act as a Congress, not a doormat
to the WH and, said Roger, Dem leaders promised to no longer
allow Exec. to push them around. All nets noted "overwhelming"
Senate Dem approval of Mansfield's denunciation of war as a
"bloody travesty. 11 (CBS used that quote.)
R.Z on film on all nets pointing to sensitive stage in talks as he,
according to Chancellor, warned Hill to keep hands off VN situation.
ABC/NBC noted this was "familiar" response and CBS immediately
jumped from R.Z clip to Mansfield who said there's no need to
remind them of responsibilities or facts of life
Besides
emphasizing Dem hardline, NBC's Duke said Admin is "also in
trouble" w/Senate GOP which backed a "vaguely worded approval"
of RN policy by 16-10. And Jackson, "generally a backer" of RN
on VN (CBS), was on
NBC criticizing R.N for failing to
communicate to Hill on bombings "a serious mistake, 11 said Scoop.
All noted HAK to meet w/GOP MCs pre-Paris return but only NBC
noted R.N will meet w/leaders as, said Chancellor, the WH is moving
in various ways to head off the criticism.
NBC/CBS note of the longest talks yet in Paris -- 7 1/2 hours -- w/
both technical and regular Thurs. sessions on tap today. Valeriani
said R.Z backed away from Sat's WH implication that bombing halt
was due to "signal" from Hanoi and he thus strengthened speculation
that raids were stopped instead because of Hill's return. Valeriani
said WH sounded "especially wary" on the talks
CBS note of
RN-HAK strategy session and Le Duc Tho return to Paris via PRC
and USSR. NBC noted both sides say no separate deals have been
made and hard bargaining is ahead.
