Nixon to share 47 Volumes of Classified Vietnam Study with Congress
President Nixon will deliver to Congress the full 47 volumes of a Pentagon study on U S involvement in Vietnam on a Top Secret basis. The White House cites incomplete data due to prior unauthorized releases and says declassification review and existing rules will govern handling. The move follows court battles over publication and includes a 1965 Tonkin Gulf incident study.

JFK Plan to Topple Diem Amid Negotiation Plot
Sun-Times reports a August 1963 State Department memo urged ousting South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem if he pursued talks with North Vietnam. Hilsman confirmed authorship but said memos were contingency plans printed in abbreviated form. The Sun-Times also noted documents show U.S. officials debated keeping Diem while ousting Nhu, with Kennedy era involvement.

Senate votes to limit debate on draft extension linked to POW release
The Senate approved limiting further discussion on extending the draft and a nine month withdrawal from Indochina if all U S prisoners are freed. The 65 to 27 vote strengthens moves for quick Senate passage while opponents warn of delays if House conferees drop the withdrawal goal. The White House dismissed the amendment as merely a view of 57 senators.
