Senator Barry Goldwater accused the Pentagon of placing unbelievable restrictions on U S forces in Vietnam linking them to high casualties. He disclosed the Southeast Asia Rules of Engagement in the Congressional Record while the Senate nears final passage of a 25 billion fiscal 1976 military bill. Strom Thurmond praised the move as overdue and noted public backlash to “hands tied behind their backs.” A separate clash over the B1 bomber occurred with McGovern opposing its funding, but his amendment failed 57-32 as the conference bill differs from the House version See MILITARY on back page
