Kissinger has provided foregoing as illustrative suggestions. After
discussing issue with Bunker and Thieu he has concluded that foregoing
approach is preferable to one that might be portrayed in headlines as a
rejection of the PRG plan. Kissinger therefore requests that his earlier
message (WH 10572) be handled within this overall framework.
Best regards.
