I'm not sure what you mean exactly by the question but when the war ended, Gerald Ford was in office. Unable to get Congress support for continued funding and military involvement, Ford had to withdraw troops as South Vietnam became Communist. Before him, Nixon had tried to end the war through a number of ways: some military (increased bombing, invasion of bases in Cambodia), some economic (continued support to help the South Vietnamese take control of the anti-Communist offensive themselves), and some political (as well as Nixon's meetings with the USSR and China, Kissinger was involved with trying to secure a peace deal with the Viet Cong). A peace deal was signed in Paris in 1973 but was ignored later.

In terms of who first tried to end the war, it was LBJ who first decided the war could not be won militarily and opened a peace conference in 1968. His announcement that he would not be standing for re-election however meant that Nixon had to take over.
