Nixon to make
report tonight
By HELEN THOMAS
WASHINGTON (UPI) -Pres
ident Nixon’s offer to resume
the Paris peace talks, coming
barely 24 hours before tonight’s
address to the nation on more
troop withdrawals from Viet
nam, provided more evidence
today that Nixon has decided
not to let escalation of the war
torpedo his trip to Moscow next
month.
The offer, made simul
taneously in Washington and
Saigon Tuesday night, followed
presidential adviser Henry A.
Kissinger’s secret weekend trip
to Moscow. And in saying he
was willing to resume peace
talks—provided the Commu-

nists made their current
offensive and how to end it the
No. 1 topic—Nixon appeared to
be trying to reassure both the
Kremlin and the American
public that what he really
wants is less, not more, war.
Tonight’s 10 p.m. EST radio
and TV address was expected
to contain an announcement
that U.S. troop strength in
Vietnam will be down to 69,000
by May 1, as Nixon had
promised. It was in excess of
500,000 when he took office
more than three years ago.
The White House said Kissin
ger’s trip to Moscow was not
related to tonight’s address to
the nation. It was known,
however, that Vietnam was the
prime topic at the four days of
talks.
There was speculation that
Nixon, concerned about what
additional steps he might have
to take to preserve the Saigon
government, feared that more
bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong
might damage or sink his
meeting with Russia’s leaders
scheduled to begin May 22.
Kissinger in turn was either
sent or invited to go to Moscow
where the two governments
tried to work out some way the
summit could be kept alive
without embarrassment to the
Kremlin or the White House.
In agreeing to resume the
talks, on his conditions, Nixon
retreated slightly from a
previous U.S. position that
there would be no more
discussions as long as the
Communist offensive continued.
But he may have demonstrated
to the Russians that he does
indeed want next month’s
summit meeting.
Press Secretary Ronald Zie
gler said Tuesday night the
North Vietnamese, who
launched the offensive March
30, have expressed willingness
to resume the talks but he did
not say whether they made any
specific overtures leading to
Nixon’s decision.
