Gravel says report against blockade in Vietnam
Senator Mike Gravel cites secret Nixon documents claiming the US intelligence system advised against blockading North Vietnam in 1969. He read a Kissinger drafted memo with CIA and State Department views arguing interdiction would be difficult and could be evaded via coastal and inland routes. The motion to print the full document in the Congressional Record was blocked by Sen. Griffin, who said the Senate would decide if Gravel acted within rules.
