House Democrats push for total Vietnam War pullout
In a highly divided session the House Democrats approved a antiwar resolution by 144 to 58 urging Congress to set a date to end all U S military involvement in and over Indochina. The measure condemns renewed bombing of North Vietnam and seeks a bill from the Foreign Affairs Committee within days. The White House criticized the action while a separate policy statement backed current Nixon actions.
