North Viet Blockade Proposed
Washington senator Richard B. Russell urged a strict air sea quarantine on North Vietnam arguing it could end the war quickly without more U.S. troops. He called for a tougher bombing policy to cut off the North and rail links to China, while warning that without action the war could drag on with heavy costs. Senator Miller, from Iowa, opposed boosting troops until maximum air and sea power is used. Senate leader Mansfield urged restraint on bombing to push peace talks and questioned the bombing’s effectiveness to halt communist infiltration.
