Sen Eugene McCarthy charged Johnson administration is afraid to negotiate a settlement in Vietnam. He urged terms including NLF recognition, coalition government with South Vietnam, and veto limits while opposing tactical nuclear use. He backed Americans for Democratic Action endorsement but offered support for Johnson if nominated and rejected a Republican run.
Senator Mike Mansfield warned in a Maine University speech that South Vietnam remains insecure with entrenched Viet Cong networks and a weak Saigon administration. He argued US aims were limited to aiding the South Vietnamese, not shaping a new government, and that American military involvement risked altering Vietnam's inner struggle.
Rep. Margaret Heckler says Westmoreland misleads Congress with delusion and that Johnson aides give bewildering contradictory statements. She recalls a Pentagon briefing claiming victory before North Vietnam and Viet Cong advances. She criticizes briefings as confidential yet later published with greater detail.
