Pentagon to Send Advisers to Cambodia Action
The Pentagon announced the United States will send advisers, tactical air strikes, and other support to South Vietnamese operations in Cambodia near the Parrot Beak area, 35 miles from Saigon. The move aims to save allied lives and strengthen Vietnamization as U.S. troops are drawn down. Senator Fulbright labeled it a major escalation and a mistake, while Nixon urged faith in the American economy and warned not to let inflation and stock declines derail confidence.
