Kennedy urges Johnson to press Vietnam talks in Indiana
Sen. Robert F. Kennedy urged President Johnson to pursue peace negotiations in Vietnam while prioritizing domestic needs. He campaigned across Indiana during the May 7 Democratic primary, contrasting rival Eugene McCarthy’s warnings of military entanglement in domestic affairs and Hubert Humphrey’s shift toward “the arts of peace” and bridging relations with China. Kennedy stressed meeting Americans’ responsibilities and maintaining world duties as Indiana voters head to the primary.
