Aiken Moderates Viet Nam Debate At Vermont Meeting
Senator George D. Aiken led a middle course at a Vermont State House program in Montpelier with Gov Hoff in attendance. The all day event featured panel discussions with William Bundy and William Griffith supporting current Vietnam policy while Rev Coffin and Johnson urged dissent. Aiken admitted he lacked detailed answers but offered ideas to avoid further bombing or a wider war, and he pressed for a responsible U.S. exit only if a suitable government in South Vietnam requests it. The 250 attendees heard questions on next steps and Southeast Asia strategy as others debated China's expansionist role and the war’s aims.
