Despite the caveats from both sides, the objective sought by Johnson and Nixon-to let Washington speak "with one voice," as Nixon put it-remained reasonably clear.

But Thieu had already fired back through his Information Minister, Ton That Thien, who asserted that "at no stage, at no time" had Thieu agreed to the U.S. formula for negotiations (see box). And, added Thien, "We cannot win the war without the U.S., and the U.S. cannot win the war without us. The same applies to making the peace...
