North Vietnam yesterday offered to negotiate a cease-fire in the war if the United States suggests any "reasonable date" for the complete withdrawal of all its forces.
North Vietnamese delegate Xuan Thuy's proposal to the 95th session of the Paris peace talks modified an earlier demand for a complete American pullout by next June 30.

Bruce's statement was consistent with Defense Secretary Melvin Laird's declaration on Tuesday that "there will be no total and complete withdrawal" of U.S. forces from South Vietnam until American prisoners held by the North Vietnamese are released.
