TEXT OF DISCUSSION . A BRIEF HISTORY OF CAMBODIA. Aug. 16, 1973 WHILE THE Battle for Kompong Cham province, Cambodia's third largest city, begins………. Pham Van Dong, in a meeting with Zhou Enlai in Beijing, is told: "The Americans told comrade Huang Chen that they want to solve the Cambodian question and that they were ready to talk with Sihanouk or with his representative. At the same time, they want representatives of the United National Front in Cambodia to hold talks with Lon Nol's faction. What we are concerned about is that Sihanouk will change his position. We cannot change the joint position adopted by the Indochinese countries' summit. As long as the US continues its bombing operation, talks cannot be held. But at this moment, the US wishes to withdraw from Cambodia. If we can win the sympathy of some people in Lon Nol's faction, we will be in an advantageous position. It is therefore unwise if these chances are not exploited."
