Rogers said he expected the meeting to take about a week. hope to be back before too long with a very successful Rogers said just before takeoff from Andrews Air Force Base in nearly Maryland. Rogers said preliminary talks the meetings will be successful and The secretary also said he did not expect renewed bombings in Laos to adversely affect the over-all peace negotiations, and said he was The 13-party conference opens Monday under a mandate from the Paris cease-fire agreement contribute to a guaranted peace in The agreement was signed Jan. 27. U.S.

officials indicate they would be satisfied with nothing more than an official endorsement of the cease-fire agreement at least for the time being. The same officials say also they hope the conference can be concluded in four or five shorter than the time frame outlined by other participants. Rogers himself said last month the meetings probably would last a week. Many of the tasks originally expected to be completed by the conference not are thought by U.S. sources to be out of reach and they would prefer a shortened session to avoid prolonged wrangling.

These include the continued fighting in Laos and Cambodia as well as in South Vietnam and the unsettled political situation in South Vietnam. There was still no word from the American side on how the conference would be organized. The United States has no objections to United Nations Secretary General Kurt Waldheim as chairman. But there were signs some communist participants have reservations to that role for Waldheim who was designated a member by the Paris pact. Another problem that has to be settled even if the scope of the meeting is restricted is creation of an agency to receive reports from the International Commission of Control and Supervision overseeing the cease-fire.

Canada has conditioned its membership on the commission on the existence of such a reporting agency. Otherwise the Ottawa government has said it will withdraw from the supervisory gioup.
