McGovern urges Nixon to withdraw all U.S. troops from Vietnam
Senator George McGovern concluded a three day Saigon visit with a demand that Nixon pull all American troops from Vietnam in exchange for North Vietnam releasing U S war prisoners. He called Vietnamization a glaring failure and labeled Thieu’s upcoming election a charade, while noting Thieu would resign if U S aid is cut off. He toured the Tu Do nightclub wreckage, met Thieu for 30 minutes, and said Nixon’s recent moves did not shift their positions.
