U.S. policy outlines amid warnings on expanding Vietnam war
Assistant Secretary of State William Bundy spoke in Tokyo outlining Washington’s Southeast Asia policy. He said the aim is not to overthrow North Vietnam but to induce a ceasefire and withdraw support for the war in the South. Bundy warned expansion could occur if Communist pressure increases, a stance echoed yet nuanced against President Johnson’s remarks on avoiding broader bombing. State Dept. officials said the statements are not in conflict, reflecting current conditions rather than future steps.
