McNamara Faces Uncertain Troop Increase Needs
Secretary McNamara said he is unsure how many more U.S. troops are needed in Vietnam, while top officers privately insist at least 25,000 are required to regain momentum.

Johnson plan dispatch to Congo hurts Viet buildup hopes
President Johnson sent three U.S. planes and about 15 men to the Congo upon Mobutu's request, a move that drew congressional criticism for intruding in another nation's affairs. Critics say the action could slow possible U.S. military expansion in Vietnam and reflect public weariness with policing the world.

Pakistani Resolution and Likely UN Action on Jerusalem
United Nations diplomats expect the General Assembly to back a Pakistani resolution urging the Security Council to force Israel to relinquish control of the Old City of Jerusalem. Delegates foresee abstentions or votes against by some council members to avoid hard commitment to such a strong step. The resolution denounces Israel’s failure to heed a prior request and repeats calls to reverse annexation measures, while Israeli officials contest the use of the term annexation for postwar administrative and municipal actions in Jerusalem.
