Taylor Signals New Communist Viet Nam Effort Hint
Ambassador Maxwell Taylor told Congress the Communists may plan a new effort in South Vietnam. President Johnson and Taylor ruled out any immediate dramatic U.S. counter moves, urging continued efforts and denial of any negotiable terms. Taylor, in closed testimony, noted war fluctuations and avoided questions on China participation or negotiations. Johnson later said no signs the Communists would negotiate under acceptable conditions.
