Senate Gives Johnson Power to Call Up Reserves for Vietnam
The Senate voted 66 to 21 to authorize standby reserve callups for possible active duty in Vietnam, despite White House and Pentagon objections. The move ties to a $58.2 billion defense bill and aims to prevent the reserve training program from becoming a way to avoid service. Senators Russell and Connally led the effort, while a small group of Democrats urged deeper cuts to the bill, proposing reductions of over $500 million from the Appropriations Committee figure.
