Johnson Orders Bomb Halt to Promote Peace Talks
President Johnson halted most U S bombing in North Vietnam in a new bid to push peace talks. He urged Ho Chi Minh to respond positively and said the limit could end if restraint is shown. Britain and the Soviet Union were urged to help move toward genuine peace in Southeast Asia. Officials noted concessions and ongoing air strikes against targets in the North could end early if North Vietnam shows restraint. Ambassador W Averell Harriman and Llewellyn Thompson were named to represent the United States in talks, potentially in Geneva or other suitable venues.

Three Phase Reserve Callup Looms for 66 000 Men
Washington defense officials disclosed a three stage plan to mobilize about 66 000 reserve troops in coming months. The first phase aims to meet roughly 13 500 more troops for Vietnam as authorized by President Johnson. A second phase would replace a Marine unit sent to the war zone, with an unspecified number of Army reservists, perhaps 7 000 to 70 000. The third phase could add troops to replenish the strategic reserve, not exceeding 50 000, none of whom would go to Vietnam.
