"We do not accept the proposition that some American citizens should be treated one way and some treated another way because they happen to have been born in another country," he said.
"Once they become American citizens, they are entitled to the protection of the American government and they will have it every place in the world."
Coupled with a statement from the State Department in Washington, Nixon's statement amounted to the sternest warning yet concerning the fate of 23 Americans who have been held hostage by Arab plane hijackers for 10 days.
State Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey declined in Washington to rule out the possibility of U.S. military intervention in Jordan, where the hostages are being held.
He said there were no plans for such action, but he would "not get into statements of total self-denial" because it is "obvious we are facing a serious situation."
Communists Suggest Limited Cease-Fire
PARIS (UPI)—The Vietnamese Communists Thursday offered the United States a limited cease-fire and prompt talks on the exchange of U.S. and Communist prisoners of war if President Nixon agrees to remove all American and other allied troops from Vietnam by June 30, 1971.
Terming the offers a major peace initiative and a clarification of the past negotiating offers, Viet Cong Foreign Minister Nguyen Thi Binh said acceptance of the scheme would help break the 19-month-old deadlock in the Paris talks.
Her plan, while offering a limited and vague cease-fire to the Americans in return for a withdrawal pledge, also called for formation of a new provisional coalition cabinet in Saigon.
Chief U.S. negotiator David K. E. Bruce and South Vietnam's Pham Dang Lam, while promising to study the package offer, said it contained nothing essentially new. Bruce said the offer looked to him like "new wine in old bottles."
Mrs. Binh said members of the present Saigon government who
renounced the idea of a defense alliance with the United States and espoused the Viet Cong's "neutralist" policy could be members of the coalition government.
But she specifically ruled out inclusion of President Nguyen Van Thieu, Vice-President Nguyen Cao Ky and Premier Tran Thien Khem in the provisional government.
South Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Dang Lam told the Viet Cong leader the Communists still kept asking for two preconditions—the unilateral withdrawal of all U.S. and other allied troops without committing themselves to a North Vietnamese withdrawal, and the overthrow of the elected Saigon government.
Bruce told the Communist delegates "President Nixon has stated in the clearest possible terms that the U.S. government will not impose any government on the people of South Vietnam.
"Our essential object has been and remains to have the people of South Vietnam determine their own future without any outside interference," Bruce added.
