White House official flags Vietnam pullback aims and 1969 outlook
A White House aide says an offensive could not reach the 1968 Tet level but may raise U.S. casualties through shellings and coordinated attacks. He notes failures to settle Vietnam, hopes for Paris talks, Nixon’s influence on public opinion, and a possible negotiated settlement before troop withdrawal. He also cites Middle East talks as a major disappointment, with Soviets reluctant to push beyond Arab positions and Arab-Israeli tensions resisting outside pressure.
