McNamara Plans Big U S Aid Increase for Viet Nam
Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara announced a raise in U S military aid to South Viet Nam from 207 million to 330 million this fiscal year. He spoke after a White House meeting with President Johnson and top strategists, noting slowed North Viet Nam attacks but higher Viet Cong infiltration. He outlined funding for helicopters and fire power and discussed expanding South Vietnamese forces by up to 160,000 troops. He cited increased North Vietnamese infiltration and morale damage, and said most captured Viet Cong weapons are of Communist bloc origin. He avoided predicting what if China enters the war and indicated surface to air missiles may be introduced. He described defections in North Viet Nam and attributed them to bombing and air support.
