Reagan backs off Pueblo seizure and weighs blockade option
President Reagan softened his initial call to seize North Korean ships after the Pueblo incident. He described a blockade or intercepting ships as a possible, nonliteral response while criticizing appeasement and noting the need to protect citizens if diplomacy fails. He offered no firm new action and reiterated uncertainty on a 1966 California primary bid.
