Rivers calls for full arsenal if Red China moves in Vietnam
Rep. L Mendel Rivers says the United States must be prepared to attack Mao Zedong's homeland with every gadget in the arsenal if Red Chinese troops move into Vietnam. He stops short of urging a nuclear strike, but warns that a popgun reply would not stop them. Critics say his comments hint at preventive action against China's nuclear installations. The remarks were made in Hartford Connecticut during a speech and drew immediate scrutiny in Washington.
