...press conference the next day, Spassky's second spelled out the "just punishment" by making three demands: 1) a written apology from Fischer, 2) a condemnation of Fischer's behavior by Euwe, and 3) an apology from Euwe for granting Fischer a two-day postponement in violation of F.I.D.E. rules. Euwe, 71, a courtly former world champion (1935-37) from The Netherlands, immediately took the microphone and said: "Of course I condemn Mr. Fischer's behavior.

Again, the only precondition would be release of the prisoners and safe withdrawal of U.S. troops...
