Senate asks Laird about war role in Indochina strike
Senate Foreign Relations Committee questions Defense Secretary Melvin Laird on American air attacks in North Vietnam. Secretary Rogers defends bombing around Hanoi and Hai Phong while White House vows action to thwart North Vietnam's invasion. A 9-1 vote supports halting combat funding by year end if POWs are released, with caveats for South Vietnam aid. The State Department says any damage to Russian ships was inadvertent and pledges care to avoid third parties’ shipping. Hanoi urges Paris talks reopening if bombing stops. Ziegler says North Vietnam knows how to resume talks.
