...impression Gromyko tried to create, none of these points is yet the accepted policy of the West, or even a firm basis for bargaining. Both Khrushchev and Gromyko are still loudly insisting that Western occupation troops be removed from Berlin, to be replaced by United Nations or "neutral" forces. Declared Rusk last week: "We will not treat that as a negotiable problem . . . The facts are that we are in West Berlin, and we are going to stay there." Nor would the U.S. grant Russia's East German satellite the recognition it wants...
Risky Gamble. Just a year ago, when the U.S. finally persuaded the Soviets to accept a cease-fire in Laos, Washington gambled heavily on a long-shot bet: better to rely on Russian guarantees of a neutral Laos than go on fighting a war that could not be won. The Red Pathet Lao forces, aided by Communist North Vietnamese, controlled half of Laos, and the Royal Laotian Army seemed unable to nrevent the Reds from overrunning the country (which so far has received $450 million in U.S. aid).

...call for negotiations these days has become a cliche. yet a neutral, unified Vietnam, the best solution to everyone's problems, can be achieved only through bargaining. The United States, the South Vietnamese guerillas, and the North Vietnamese regime would have to make concessions. A cease-fire might entail large U.S. troop reductions, if not complete withdrawal. Steps toward unification would have to be slow and conservative, starting perhaps in areas such as postal service and student exchange. In the end, if negotiations do nothing else, they will at least give the U.S. a more concrete idea...
