Democratic and Republican strategists privately agree the North Vietnam bombing halt could lift Hubert H. Humphrey's presidential bid. They caution the gain may not be decisive or time the election against Richard Nixon. Johnson linked the halt to slow progress in Paris peace talks, a factor noted by Sen. McCarthy and Senator Fulbright. Humphrey greeted the move with optimism, while Nixon appeared somber.

Johnson halts all attacks on North Vietnam
President Johnson orders an immediate halt to air naval and artillery bombardment of North Vietnam as of 8:00 a.m. Friday Washington time. He cites North Vietnamese responses to U.S. terms and hopes for progress toward a peaceful settlement while warning the pause is not foolproof and could be reversed if the North resumes aggression. The move opens a new phase of Paris peace talks set for November 6 with expanded participants and a restored DMZ.
