TIME FRAME : VIETNAM IS IN FAVOUR OF 41 INTERNATIONAL

CONFERENCE IN 1986.

D. FORMAT : ASEAN WANTED A UN CONFERENCE, VIETIIAN WOULD NOT

ACCEPT THIS. THEY WANTED A REGIONAL CONFERENCE ALONE. INDONESIA COULD ACCEPT THIS PROVIDED CERTAIN OTHER COUNTRIES OUTSIDE THE REGION (EG USSR, CHINA, USA AND PERHAPS FRANCE, UK, SWEDEN, INDIA, AUSTRALIA) WERE ALSO INVOLVED IE A LIMITED INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE. THACH INDICATED

THAT HE COULD ACCEPT THIS.

E.

F.

G.

PROXIMITY TALKS : MEDIATION IS NOT THE MAIN AIM. THAT

MUST BE, IN MOCHTAR'S VIEW, TO GET SIHANOUK AND HENG

SAMRIN (OR AT LEAST THE VIETNAMESE) TALKING. PROXIMITY TALKS ARE NOT A SOLUTION IN THEMSELVES.

RECONCILIATION: MOCHTAR ACCEPTS THIS IS IMPORTANT AND

COULD INVOLVE ALL CAMBODIANS WITHOUT OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE.

WITHDRAWAL OF PAVN: THERE REMAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN

MOCHTAR AND THACH ON THIS ISSUE BUT DISCUSSION IS POSSIBLE.

H.

SAFETY ZONES: STILL FOR DISCUSSION.

J.

INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING FORCE : STILL FOR DISCUSSION.

INTERNATIONAL CONTROL COMMISSION: MOCHTAR BELIEVES THIS

TO BE A NECESSITY.

K. CEASEFIRE : MOCHTAR DID NOT DISCUSS THIS WITH THACH.

L. ELECTIONS: THACH'S VIEW REMAINS THAT THIS IS FOR THE

CAMBODIANS TO DECIDE (PRASETYO COULD NOT SAY WHAT MOCHTAR'S

ACTUAL VIEW IS).
