meeting to present the proposal.
Diplomats said a meeting
between U.S. deputy negotiator

Vietnamese counterpart, Col.
Ha Van Lau, could take place

Averell Harriman, and Vice
President Nguyen Cao Ky of
South Vietnam. Ky Is coordina
tor of the South Vietnamese
delegation.
Following the meeting, Harri

had reached a “full understand
ing” on common procedural
arrangements to be made to the
North Vietnamese.
The two negotiators declined
to detail their proposals on how
the delegations should be seated
at the talks. Harriman said the
seating arrangements to be
suggested would confirm to the
“principles” of Washington and
Saigon.
There were unconfirmed re
ports that the U.S. proposal
would be for two semicircular
tables or a circular table cut in
two for the delegations to sit
around.
North Vietnamese officials
said they were waiting to see
the new U.S. proposal before
commenting. But they repeat
ed they would not accept the
allied concept of “two-sided”
negotiations.
Both Hanoi and the Viet Cong
have insisted the talks are to be
four-sided, with each delegation
having independent and equal
status, If they are to be held at
all.
