Johnson approves hot pursuit in Asia if Viet Nam air attack occurs

The decision aims to deter Soviet built jets moving into Viet Nam and follows August attacks after U S strikes in North Viet Nam. Escalating tensions risk direct clashes with China and in Saigon amid political instability and rising guerrilla activity.
