Navy chief warns harbor mining to weaken Hanoi war effort
Navy chief Elmo Zumwalt said mining North Vietnamese harbors and bombing rail lines would instantly impact Hanoi's drive. He noted Hanoi may shift from a major spring push to smaller efforts as supplies dwindle, and that the blockade is passive with warned ships taking risks. Capitol Hill hosted a large antiwar rally timed to the mine activation.

U N official eyes action on Vietnam crisis
Secretary General Kurt Waldheim met with U N diplomats to discuss Security Council action on Vietnam. A veto by the United States, Soviet Union, or China could block any move. U S Ambassador George Bush said he would not block Council consideration. Diplomats awaited further developments in the North Vietnam blockade and the next step by the U S Russia or China. Jakob Isbrandtsen and Swiss bankers face a $3.6 million lawsuit by American Export units alleging conspiracy to divert funds from American Export International and American Isbrandtsen Lines.

Senate stalled antiwar bill over Nixon pullout plan
Washington leaders debated tying a Vietnam war end to a Nixon plan to withdraw all U S forces within four months after North Vietnam and the Viet Cong agree to an internationally supervised cease fire. Church and Case pressed for a four month cutoff tied to prisoner releases, while Byrd urged continued fund use unless a cease-fire is reached. Republicans warned Nixon would veto any measure restricting his powers. House Democrats backed antiwar legislation lacking a cease-fire clause, aiming to end U S involvement by October with prisoner releases and troop withdrawals conditioned on safety and accounting.
