President Johnson declares he will not seek another term, urging national unity over partisan divisions. He recalls forty years in service, praises United support, and emphasizes duties of the Presidency over personal political pursuits.
President Johnson announced a unilateral pause in bombing North Vietnam to foster negotiations under the San Antonio Formula. He named Ambassador-at-large W. Averell Harriman and the U.S. ambassador to Moscow, Llewellyn Thompson, to pursue talks in Geneva or other suitable venues. He linked the move to a broader peace bid, while Hanoi indicated it would demand talks only if attacks stopped. The plan aims to reduce violence, save lives, and move toward a political settlement with North Vietnam participating in postwar development in Southeast Asia.
President Johnson orders a halt to most bombing in North Vietnam except near the DMZ and select threat zones, triggering protest from senior officers who urge broader air strikes to disrupt enemy supply lines and Haiphong harbor. Military leaders warn the move risks letting U S ally supply routes expand southward and threaten strategic targets.
