Mrs. Kieu Mong Thu, a militant Buddhist member of the National Assembly, said that "President Thieu should have thought of this measure sooner." Supporters of Lawyer Truong Dinh Dzu, the runner-up in the 1967 presidential elections who campaigned on a peace platform and is now in jail, reminded the world that Dzu was sentenced to five years at hard labor last year for suggesting direct talks with the N.L.F.
