Senators Told War Objectives Are Obtainable
A top U S official in Vietnam told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee he is optimistic that American and South Vietnamese aims will be achieved in Vietnam. Paul Vann said since 1968 he has grown convinced that pacification programs can work and that South Vietnamese confidence is rising, forcing the Communists to rely on North Vietnamese troops. The Nixon doctrine and ABM plans drew mixed reactions, with some senators opposing or doubting the Safeguard system while others praised Nixon’s approach to a global, realistic peace. Gerald Ford called Nixon’s policy a peace line for the 1970s and not isolationist.
