Among those recommenda tions are negotiations with the Viet Cong, a pause in the bombing of North Viet Nam, and the continuation of the pause to be conditional on a response from North Viet Nam and the Viet Cong. Before he left, Sherburne said, “We hope that whatever we can learn during our stay will serve to make the debate on American campuses even better informed than it is.” Sherburne said his group plans to spend much of their lime talk ing with students. “We know very little of the views of South Vietnamese students on the pres ent government there, on the American role, and on the great issues of the war itself. We plan to find out what those views are and we plan to communicate them to American students when we re turn.” Sherburne says N'SA hopes to bring a delegation of Vietnamese students to the U.S later this year to make a tour of college campuses. He told reporters in Saigon that he felt the majority of Am erican students support United States efforts in the war. although many differ about the aspects of the struggle.
