Critics pressure Nixon to offer Congo policy alternative
Two Democratic senators challenge Nixon to propose an alternative to President Kennedy’s Congo policy. Humphrey and Sparkman question what Nixon would do beyond Kennedy’s hard choice of backing the UN or risking a communist advance in Katanga. They argue Katanga’s secession imperils Congo’s future and invite communism, while Nixon notes U.S. alignment with the Soviets.
