Rockefeller denies secret Vietnam commitments amid Senate dispute
During a trip to New Orleans for the American Newspaper Publishers Association meeting, Nelson Rockefeller faced questions about secret U.S. commitments to South Vietnam and whether Congress was blocking aid. He said the United States had no authority to act while Congress was not in session and funds were unavailable, denying earlier suggestions that South Vietnam was already lost. A week later he spoke on the controversy over Sen. Henry M. Jackson’s charge of secret commitments.
