GOP Platform Seeks Moderate Vietnam Path and Crime Focus
The platform condemns the Johnson era in Vietnam while backing a gradual peace approach and fears a basic policy shift. It promises tough anti crime measures, targeted welfare reforms, and local-led action to curb unrest, while opposing a guaranteed income and foreign policy as world policeman. Senator Dirksen shapes the draft with Javits voting present.
