Nixon Sees Hanoi Using Bomb Halt
In a TV telethon Nixon claimed Hanoi may exploit the bombing pause as Humphrey accused him of fearmongering. Nixon cited a report of North Vietnamese use of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, while Humphrey dismissed the charge as unsubstantiated. The exchange framed the eve of the 1968 election with Nixon defending Agnew and criticizing Muskie.
