Kennedy and Johnson clash in bitter Vietnam debate
In a sharp national clash Kennedy and Johnson debated Vietnam policy before students and farm leaders. Kennedy urged negotiations with the National Liberation Front and a reduced U.S. effort in Vietnam while Johnson pressed for national austerity and continued war aims. The exchange highlighted deep rifts among Democratic contenders and the nation as the 1968 race accelerated.
Vietnam Debate Backed Could Take Johnson Off the War Hook
Backers of a congressional Vietnam debate resolution said it would give President Johnson a clear mandate on war policy. The measure, now with 135 Republicans and 41 Democrats backing, would direct the Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs committees to review US Southeast Asia policy and whether more congressional action is needed. Supporters say the debate could shape the national dialogue and possibly constrain Johnson.
