Abstract:
1. North Vietnamese Officials' Statements to WIDF Delegation Stressing Desire for Early Negotiations to
End War on Basis of Points Specified by
Communists. 2. WIDF Delegation Member's
Account of Bomb Damage, Economic Hardship,
and Defense Measures in North Vietnam [North
Vietnamese leaders wish to initiate
negotiations on the basis of the four points
of Geneva and the five points of the NFLSV,
do not want negotiations to be taken up at
the UN (which they feel is maneuvered by the
US), would like the Viet Cong to be referred
to as NFLSV rather than as VC meaning Viet
Communists, and emphasize that there are no
North Vietnamese military units in South
Vietnam. Hanoi leaders also discuss the great
damage caused by US bombing and report that
everything around Hanoi has been destroyed;
they expect massive bombardments and an
invasion]. Intelligence Information Cable,
