Senator George McGovern charged Vice President Agnew with cynically attacking antiwar demonstrators to undermine patriotism and suggested President Nixon approved the tactic. He argued Agnew spoke for the administration, while Senate leaders and figures like Mansfield defended a cautious shift in war policy. Westmoreland opposed unilateral cease fire, citing risk of losing territory.
