McNamara touts U.S. military strength and Vietnam force
Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the United States can field 325,000 combat troops in Southeast Asia without calling up reserves or imposing civilian economy controls. He argued the strength comes with minimal societal burden and cited a lower military budget share of GNP than in 1960–64. He focused on the global military aid program and faced questions on Vietnam policy amid Republican criticism.
