McGovern Demands Immediate Vietnam Troop Withdrawal
Senator George S. McGovern told a Boston Ford Hall Forum crowd that South Vietnam President Thieu lacks veto power over U.S. withdrawal plans and urged Nixon to offer asylum to endangered Saigon allies. He called for all U.S. troops to depart and urged volunteers to stay in Saigon if the Thieu regime remains. He noted repeated electoral opposition to U.S. involvement and left open a 1972 bid if no one else speaks on reform, Vietnam, youth, and hunger.
