Johnson Congress In Stalemate Over Vietnam Troop Commitments
In Washington AP reports the Johnson administration faces renewed friction with Congress as envoys Taylor and Clifford seek larger allied troop contributions for Vietnam. Senators fault allied nations including the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand while Westmoreland urges beefed up manpower.

NATO members resist more U.S. troop withdrawals, citing domestic strains but warn against large cuts.
