President Nixon’s order to mine and blockade North Vietnamese ports drew mixed reactions from lawmakers. McGovern called the move reckless. Humphrey and Wallace criticized it as dangerous, while Nixon’s backers like Smith and Griffin praised his firmness. The POW/MIA group welcomed the stance, and lawmakers weighed its impact on peace prospects and global credibility.

He praised Nixon for giving Americans a clear analysis of the war and urged support, calling the action the sole path to bring peace and prisoners home. Reagan denounced past expediency and appeasement policies as costly in human suffering.
