GOP White Paper on Viet Nam Challenges Johnson Policy
House Republicans release a 37 page white paper arguing the Democratic administration, not Republicans, control U.S. policy in South Vietnam. It traces U.S. involvement to Truman in 1950 and says Eisenhower’s commitment was economic, criticizing Johnson’s rhetoric as unreliable and misguiding Communist expectations. The GOP rushed the release to beat Johnson’s own briefing, staging simultaneous news conferences.
