IN ADDITION, THE US IS PREPARED To CONSIDER ANY OTHER PROPOSAL FoR
CHAIRMAN OTHER THAN US-DIV CO-CHAIRMANSHIP.
C. THE US StOe CONTINUES TO BELIEVE THAT THE UN SECRETARY -
GENERAL SHOULD BE THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY OF THE CONFERENCE
FOR THE REASONS STATED BY OR' KISSINGER DURING HIS VISIT To PEKING.
D. THE US SIDE ALSO CONTINUES TO BELIEVE THAT THERE MUST
BE A RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED seTweeN THE Iccs AND. SOME OTHER
ORGAN OTHER THAN THE PARTIES WHOSE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
AoiteemeNT OF THE ICCS IS SUPERVISING. THIS COULD BE EITHER THE
UN SECURITY COUNCIL OR THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE CONFERENCE,
E. THE us SIDE HAS CONSIDERED FURTHER THE CHINESE SIDE'S COMMENTS
?ARDING THE PHRASE "EXCERCISE 'RESTRAINT" IN THE SECOND SENTENCE
OF ARTICLE II OF THE US DRAFT FOR THE FINAL ACT OF ;THE CONFERENCE.
TAKING THESE VIEWS INTO ACCOUNT THE US SIDE SUGGESTS THAT THE
SENTENCE READ "THEY SHALL TAKE ACTIONS TO FACILITATE THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE
EFFECTIVENESS AND DURABILITY OF PEACE IN INDOCHINA AND SOUTHEAST
AS IA".
F. THE US SIDE HAS AGAIN SOLICITED SOVIET VIEWS CONCEPNING THE
CONFERENCE. THESE HAVE NOT YET BEEN RECEIVED* WHEN THEY ARE,
THE US SIDE SHALL COMMUNICATE THEm, "
C. THE US DELEGATION TO THE CONFERENCE HAS BEEN INSTRtJr.TED
TO AVOID ANY ACTIONS THAT WOULD HAVE THE PRACTICAL CONSEQUENCE
OF LEAVING THE CHINESE SIDE IN AN ISOLATED POSITION. IF ANY
PROBLEMS ARISE WITH REGARD TO THIS OR ANY OTHER ISSUES AT
THE CONFERENCE, THE CHINESE SIDE
SHOULD CONTACT THE us SIDE THROUGH THE NEW YORK CHANNEL.
5. THE US SECRETARY OF STATE HAS BEEN INSTRUCTED To TALK To THE
CHINESE 'FOREIGN 'MINISTER ABOUT THE PRIVATE CLAIMS Affe BLOCKED
Assets AND TO APPROACH THE ISSUES, IN A GLOBAL AND POLITICAL
FRAMEWORK. HERE/ TOO, THE CHINESE SIDE SHOULD USE THE New Ynkk
CHANNEL IF ANY PROBLEMS ARISE* THE US SIDE BELIEVES THAT
DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN THE FOREIGN MINISTERS SHOULD BE CONFINEn
To QUESTIONS OF THIS NATURE*
6, AS INDICATED BY OR* XISSSINGER, IN RESPONSE TO A SUGGESTION
By THE PRIME SINISTER TO INCREASE US HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCr,
THE US SIDE Is NOW MOVING TO RELEASE IMMEDIATELY SOME
$30 MILLION IN F000 AID FOR BANGLADESH.
