Abstract:
Possible Rapprochement between North and South Vietnam [Joseph Alsop's article in The Washington
Post indicates that North Vietnam and South
Vietnam may be working on a North-South
rapprochement. US feels this is unlikely in
view of Hanoi's conditions for unification
(capitulation of South Vietnam). Ngo family
may plan to use rapprochement to counter US
threats of aid cuts, to enlarge its options
during a crisis period, and to indicate a new
willingness to listen to French arguments].
