The United States should urge all Cambodian parties to use the good offices of the United Nations or a respected third country for the purpose of bringing an end to hostilities and reaching a political settlement; (8) to utilize any public or private forum to negotiate directly with representatives of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, the Provisional Revolutionary Government, and the Republic of Vietnam to seek a new cease. fire In Vietnam and full compliance with the provisions of the Paris Agreement on Ending the-War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam, in- bilateral contributions to the area's economic MMITATIONS WITH RESPECT TO SOUTH VIETNAM recovery; and to provide continuing advice Sec, 29.
