Nixon Signals Possible New Military Moves on Vietnam
AP dispatch from Saigon reports President Nixon at the Republican National Convention raises the possibility of using new military operations against North Vietnam to secure a settlement and release of American POWs. Air Force officials outline options including major B52 bombardments over Hanoi Hai Phong, targeting the Hanoi power plant, and faster, broader destruction. They warn civilian casualties could rise, while stressing that intensified pressure is seen as the quickest route to release. South Vietnamese President Thieu and U.S. commanders favor mounting pressure as talks stall. The decision will hinge on Washington, with officials insisting the POWs will not be sacrificed.
