R')URTH ADD 22 (DRV GOVERNMENT STATEMENT)
XKX IMPLEMENT THIS AGREEMENT
(TEXT) THE TWO SIDES ALSO AGREED TO A SCHEDULE FOR
SIGNING THE AGREEMENT ON 9 OCTOBER 1972, AT THE PROPOSAL OF
THE U.S. SIDE, THE TWO SIDES AGREED THAT THE AMERICANS
WOULD END THE BOMBING AND MINING OF THE NORTH ON 18
OCTOBER, THAT THE TWO SIDES WOULD SIGN THE DOCUMENTS Or-THE
AGREEMENT IN HANOI ON 19 OCTOBER, AND THAT THE FOREIGN MINISTFRS
OF THE TWO COUNTRIES WOULD OFFICIALLY SIGN THE AGREFMENTS
IN PARIS ON 26 OCTOBER.
ON 11 OCT09ER THE U.S. SIDE PROPOSED A CHANGE IN THE
SCHEDULE AS FOLLOWS: THE AMERICANS WOULD END THE BOMBING
AND MINING ON 21 OCTOBER, THE TWO SIDES WOULD SIGN THE
MCUMENTS OF THE AGREEMENTS IN HANOI ON 22 OCTOBER AND
THE FOREIGN MINISTERS WOULD OFFICIALLY SIGN THE AGREEMENTS
IN PARIS ON 30 OCTOBER. THE DRV SIDE AGREED TO THIS NEW
tL S. SCHEDULE.
ON 20 OCTOBER 1972, WITH THE PRETEXT THAT THERE
WERE STILL A NUMBER OF POINTS TO BE DISCUSSED, THE 11.9.
SIDE ADVANCED ANOTHER SCHEDULE: THE, AMERICANS WOULD END
THE BOMBING AND MINING ON 23 OCTOBER' THE TWO SIDES WOULD
SIGN THE DOCUMENTS IN HANOI ON 24 OCTOBER AND THE FOREIGN
MINISTERS WOULD SIGN THE AGREEMENTS IN PARIS'ON 31 OCTOBER.
ALTHOIGH THE U.S. SIDE HAD MANY TIMES CHANGED WHAT HAD
BEEN AGREED, THE DRV SIDE, WITH GOOD WILL, ALSO AGREED TO
THIS U.S. PROPOSAL AND STRESSED THAT THE U.S. SIDE MIST
tOT ADVANCE ANY PRETEXT TO CHANGE THE SCHEDULE AGAIN. --
THUS, AS OF 22 OCTOBER, THE DRV AND U.S. SIDES AGREED TO
THE FULL TEXT OF THE AGREEMENTS ON ENDING THE WAR AND
RESTORING PEACE IN VIETNAM, AND ON A SCHEDULE OF WHAT WOULD
BE DONE IN ORDER TO SIGN THE AGREEMENTS OFFICIALLY ON 31
OCTOBER 1972. OBVIOUSLY THE TWO SIDES ENTERED INTO AN
AGREEMENT ON THESE AGREEMENTS OF EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
SIGNIFICANCE THAT EXACTLY CORRESPOND TO THE DESIRES OF THE
VIETNAMESE PEOPLE, THE U.S. PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLES OF THE WORLD.
HOWEVER, ON 23 OCTOBER 1972, CONTRARY TO ITS AGREEMENTS,
THE U.J. SIDE AGAIN ANNOUNCED DIFFICULTIES ORIGINATING
IN SAIGON, AND DEMANDED THAT THE NE130TIATIONS BE CONTINUED
TO SOLVE NEW PROBLEMS BUT DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT
IMPLEMENTING' THE AGREED POINTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
SCHEDULE AGREED ON. THIS-ACT BY THE U.S. SIDE HAS CREATED
A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION THAT THREATENS THE SIGNING OF
THE AGREEMENTS ON ENDING THE WAR AND RESTORING PEACE IN VIETNAM.
