Ex security veteran urges declassification of Vietnam study
A retired government security expert told a congressional subcommittee that the Pentagon’s 47 volume Vietnam War study was misclassified from the start and should be made public. He said it was never dangerous to U.S. security and should have remained confidential only, with testimony at an open hearing. The session was led by Rep. Moorhead as McCloskey weighed whether to release a summary from the study. The White House and Congress moved to review the materials for secure handling as partisan debate swirled.

Rusk Rejects 1963 Pentagon Pullout Plan Says War Not Winnable
Los Angeles Times reports a secret Pentagon study urged a pullout from Vietnam in 1963, but former Secretary of State Dean Rusk overruled the idea. The Times cites a memorandum by Marine Maj. Gen. Victor Krulak and notes the discussion at a National Security Council session chaired by Rusk in Kennedy’s absence. Paul M. Kattenburg, then head of the Vietnam Working Group, argued for a different course.
