WASHINGTON ( AP)--Henry A. Kissinger said yesterday Hanoi has balked at President Nixo n's Vietnam peace proposals, presented in a nationwide ele- vision speech Tuesday night, on two counts: the fine print on blueprints for a U.S. wit idrawal and the election of a new Saigon government. Kissinger, w ho was Nixon's clandestine go-between in 12 just-disclosed H IXOH S secret Paris c conferences with key figures from Hanoi, said at a rare news conference he still hopes for a negotiating breakthrough. He called th e Presidents eight-point proposal a flexible one, not a take-it-or-leal ve-it proposition. The Presiden t's far-travelled assistant for national security affairs said Nixon, by publicizing 26 months of secret negotiations in an address peaceto the nation, may spur North Vietnam to resume talks "on a more urgent basis.", Nixon unfold ed a peace offer that includes an Indochina cease-fire, withdrawal of American forces and release of war pris- oners, new elections in South Vietnam with the Viet Cong participating, and resignation of the Saigon government a month before the internationally supervised balloting. proposal. Under the Nixon plan, all these developments would take place within six months of a Washington-Hanoi agreement. The basics of the proposal have ie an in 7hanni's hands since Octoberr, Nixon said, bu t Hanoi has given no response. Radio Hanoi, in a quick response to Nixon's address, said it contained nothing new an d insisted that the U.S. position was "not changed in any way." But the broadcast stopped short of rejecting the Chief Executive's proposals. The same was true of similar denunciations voiced in Paris by the Hanoi nego tiators there. Elsewhere in ternationally, the response to Nixon's disclosures found the (Please see PEACE, page 2) (Also see related stories, page 7) U.S. NAVAL BASE GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA THUa tU 1ttR THURSP)AY, JANUARY 2 7, 1972 .and what it means President Nixon's Indochina peace ANA when he said the Americans "are de- proposal may sound logical and fair feated and are therefore forced to to many Americans but the road to By WILLIAM,L RYAN--(AP) change their strategy." peace is littered with snags.
