...YEARS AGO, the North Vietnamese and their allies rejected President Nixon's call for a standstill ceasefire in Indochina when he linked the ceasefire to simultaneous withdrawal of all North Vietnamese and U.S. forces from the South. North Vietnam insisted in 1970 that there could be a ceasefire among Vietnamese forces in the South only after a political Settlement. However, it subsequently became clear that the nature of the ceasefire was not in itself a problem providing that the parties reached agreement on a political settlement.

...early as the end of the month, but in any case the signing would take place no later than mid-December. Under the 60-day withdrawal plan, the remaining U.S. troops in South Viet Nam and the more than 500 P.O.W.s known to be held by the Communists throughout Indochina could begin coming home before Christmas...
