SOUTH VIETNAM
While resolutely fighting against U.S. aggression, the Vietnamese people have always
shown their good will and desire to settle peacefully the Vietnam problem. Their
negotiating position, the most reasonable and logical one, designed to bring about
genuine peace and independence, has been given a full expression in the seven-point
solution put forward on July 1, 1971, by the Provisional Revolutionary Government of
the Republic of South Vietnam, and in the nine-point proposal made on June 26, 1971,
by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
Proceeding from the fundamental national rights of the Vietnamese people and the
South Vietnamese people's right to self-determination, the Provisional Revolutionary
Government of the Republic of South Vietnam wishes to elaborate on the two key
problems in the seven-point solution to stop the U.S. war. of aggression, and to put a
complete end to the "Vietnamization" policy as follows:
1--Regarding the withdrawal of U.S. troops and the cessation of the U.S. air war
and all U.S. military activities in Vietnam.
The U.S. Government.must stop its air war and all military activities in Vietnam,
rapidly and completely withdraw all U.S. troops, advisers, military personnel,
weapons and gar materials and those of the other foreign countries in the U.S.
camp from South Vietnam and dismantle the U.S. military bases in South Vietnam.
The U.S. Government must set a specific terminal date for the complete withdrawal
of all U.S. troops, advisers, military personnel, weapons and war materials and
those of the other forei cotntries in [the] U.S. camp from South Vietnam without
posing any condition whatsoever. This specific terminal date will also be the date
for the release of all militarymen of the parties and :.f the civilians captured in
the war (including the U_S. pilots captured in North V?_etna-n).
2--Regarding the political problem in South Vietnar,;.
The U,S. Government must really respect the South Vietnamese people's fight to self-
determination, put an and to all interference in the internal affairs South Vietnam.
Nguyen Van Thieu and his machine of oppression and con,trai.it, instr,._ :s of the U.S.
"Vietpamization" policy, constitute the main obstacle to the settlems-.-: of the political
problem in South Vietnam, Therefore, Nguyen Van Thieu must resign irr:ediately, the
Saigon administration must end its warlike policy,. disband at once its machine of
oppression and constraint against the people, Stop its "pacification" policy, disband
the concentration camps, set free those persons arrested on political grounds and
guarantee to the people the democratic liberties as provided for by the 1954 Geneva
agreements on Vietnam.
After the above h&a _e n achieved, the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the
Republic of South Vietnam will immediately discuss with the Saigon administration the
formation of a three-segment government national concord with a view to organizing
general elections in South Vietnam, to elect a constituent assembly, work out a
constitution, and set up the definitive government of South Vietnam. The general
elections will be held according to procedures agreed upon among the political forces
in South Vietnam so as to ensure effectively free, democratic and fair character.
Agreement on the above two key problems will make it easy to resolve the other problems
with a view to ending the war, and restoring peace in Vietnam. For its part, the
Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam is prepared to
n gotiate an overall solution forthe purpose of signing a comprehensive agreement.
