F nedman also charged that

But for this. May also had an
answer. He explained that cur

by department heads arc now
being requested to petition

Friedman also said GSA

believe a cease-fire, without some assurance

cessful approach.
Scott said he hopes President Nixon wifi set
a date on which American forces will stop
shooting unless attacked.
Not a Trial Balloon
Scott, the administration's chief spokesman
on the Senate floor, said he was not signaling
any White House intention.
“This is not a trial balloon for the Presi
dent.” Scott said, “it's a personal hope ”
But Scott’s expression of that hope fot a
course long advocated bv Democtatic Leader-
Mike Mansfield, was certain to heighten
speculation that Nixon - plans some such
dra.matic move in his Nov. 3 Vietnam report to
the nation.
Scott said he was speculating himself.

considering resigning hi s

He said his decision came as oppose the resolutions want to
a result of two resolutions involve themselves with more
passed at the SDS regular than just the war.
“I wouldn't think anything could happen of
that kind before Nov. 3.” he said.
The Pentagon official, who stipulated that

on what Nixon will say m his speech 10 da\ =

Both Scott and Mansfield said the ad
ministration's new battlefield policy of protec

cease fire.
Unriei that policy. Mansfield said. U S.

"Tins is certainly a tar cry from the tactics
of maximum pressure, and search and

The high delense official noted fhai
Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird first used
the term “protective reaction” to describe

conducting bolder area attacks as a means of
defending their positions. He said, for example,
that U S. troops were allowed to move into the

The resolution assigning fust
