McNamara warns no end in sight for Vietnam war
Defense Secretary Robert McNamara told a nationally televised press conference that despite American claims in Vietnam there are no signs of an early peace. He warned more air and ground forces may be required, with troop levels possibly rising toward 350,000 by year end and war costs around 1 billion dollars a month. He announced a 30 percent cut in planned production of bombs andM serial munitions to save about 1 billion annually, citing postwar arms surplus fears. He stressed the delay in a short war and cautioned the public against expecting dramatic results from bombing. The note on weather modification tests added to the broad briefing.
