Upward Call for Reserve Forces in Vietnam Policy
The Senate, overriding White House and Pentagon objections, granted President Johnson standby authority to call thousands of reservists for possible active duty in Vietnam. In a 66 to 21 vote tied to the defense bill, supporters argued many draft-age youths could avoid service by joining reserve training, a point stressed by Sen. Symington. The measure marked a victory for Sen. Russell and Sen. Saltonstall, with continued discussion expected on page three.
