President Johnson downplays a decisive Viet Cong psychological victory while noting strong post raid assessments. Sen. Rittt calls the raids a potential major Viet Cong failure if proven so. Reports indicate Pueblo crew treatment varies but wounded receive care and one body is held. About 482,000 U.S. troops are in Vietnam, with 525,000 total to be deployed by June 30.
