PARIS, Jan. 21 (WP). The 100th session of the deadlocked Vietnam peace talks was held today.
After the five-hour session, devoted almost entirely to prepared speeches reiterating well-known positions, U.S. press spokesman Stephen Ledogar said that “nothing transpired of any news value.”
South Vietnamese spokesman Nguyen Trieu Dan noted that, apart from marking the end of two years of talks as well as the end of the Vietnamese “year of the dog,” the 100th session “did not differ at all from any of the others.”
