§ Mr. Hugh Jenkinsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that the North Vietnam representative in Paris has confirmed that his Government are ready to enter into peace talks if the United States of America ceases bombing attacks against his country; and whether he will now request the United States Government to stop their air attacks so that peace talks may begin.
§ Mr. George BrownNo. Neither the statements by the North Vietnamese representative in Paris nor those by the authorities in Hanoi have ever indicated whether or how the North Vietnamese would respond to a cessation of the bombing.
