Nixon Aims to Win Peace Terms by Expanding War
President Nixon seeks to force peace talks by expanding into Cambodia. White House officials say a quick military push will compel Hanoi to negotiate, hoping major gains before the rainy season persuade North Vietnam to seek terms. Congressional critics warn of broader war risk, but supporters argue only decisive action can sustain troop withdrawals.

Nixon Faces Challenge Over Cambodia Neutrality
Washington reports a possible U.S. violation of Cambodian neutrality after South Vietnamese forces, with U.S. combat support, attack Cambodian territory. Cambodian officials deny approval of the intervention, while Senate Foreign Relations Chair Fulbright seeks clarity on Phnom Penh's consent. Defense says support was at Saigon’s request to save lives and bolster Vietnamization. Lon Nol’s role remains disputed as Phnom Penh claims no notification of invasion.
