Symington disputes NATO revival and urges troop cuts
Sen. Stuart Symington challenged White House claims of a NATO revival and pressed for large reductions in U.S. troop strength in Europe. He said France withdrew from NATO and other allies plan cuts, arguing Soviet withdrawals unlikely as Vietnam war continues. He warned continued troop deployment worsens the U.S. balance of payments and may count as foreign aid in disguise. The remarks came amid broader GOP criticism of Johnson and Nixon on domestic and foreign policy.

Eisenhower denounces armchair critics of Vietnam policy
Former President Dwight D. Eisenhower joins the election year debate, blasting "armchair strategists" for aiding the enemy and calling dissenters in wartime America a form of rebellion. He warns that coddling "peace at any price" erodes patriotism and could imperil allied victory in World War II hindsight. He singles out Lt. Gen. James Gavin's enclave theory, arguing against defensive perimeters and urging support for current war conduct.
