Debate Over More Aid To South Vietnam Grows
Washington AP The fight over additional U S funds for South Vietnam intensifies as Congress returns. Democratic majorities opposed fresh aid before recess after gains by Communist forces. South Vietnamese leaders warned Congress about a possible fall if aid is blocked. Defense Secretary Schlesinger cited factors beyond Congress and warned long term survival depends on sustained U S military aid. Senator Jackson pressed Kissinger to disclose secret promises. George Ball called the Vietnam situation irredeemable and urged no further interference.
