One typed document by Vance Hartke dated circa 1966. This is Hartke's plan to end the Vietnam War, He outlines seven steps; One, it must be announced that the United States will cease bombing the North. Two, reaffirm our position as allies to South Vietnam. Declare it is not our war, we just entered it to help our allies. Three, make plain that the Vietnam War is not an effort to gain a foothold in Asia, only to better invade "Red China." Four, we must not cross sovereign borders or air spaces of other nations in pursuit of the enemy. Five, we should reconvene the Geneva Accord. Six, submit a program of rehabilitation to the United Nations. Seven, a guarantee that an acceptable cease fire arrangement will be accompanied by an aggressive dismantling of hard core military installations.
