Goldwater Claims He Pressed Johnson to Tell Public War Would Widen
In a Monday interview Senator Barry Goldwater said he urged former President Lyndon B. Johnson during the 1964 campaign to openly warn Americans that the Vietnam war would require widening with bombing and more troops. Goldwater, the 1964 Republican nominee, said Johnson would have beaten him more badly if he had leveled with the public. He noted Johnson won in a 1964 landslide and that he anticipated North Vietnam bombing and deployment of at least 500,000 American troops, based on his own sources and timing considerations.
