Johnson Answers De Gaulle
President Johnson stated in Michigan and Ohio that U.S. forces will leave Viet Nam only after he sees a Communist timetable for stopping aggression. He underscored that troops stay until North Vietnamese infiltration ends, and warned he will reveal a withdrawal schedule if a timetable is provided. The reply aligns with prior U.S. policy while shifting emphasis away from De Gaulle's one sided withdrawal proposal.
