Nixon vows continued bombing of North Vietnam
President Nixon said on Sunday night that only air and sea power can prevent a Communist takeover of South Vietnam. He pledged 40 bomb and shell North Vietnam as long as the offensive lasts, forecasting North Vietnamese risk if they press the invasion. He urged ongoing U.S. support and rejected calls to halt air and sea power. Connally hosted a ranch barbecue for about 200 guests who toasted the president, underscoring Nixon’s Texas stop aimed at winning the state’s 26 electoral votes.
