McNamara Warns No Major Asia War Likely
Secretary McNamara told a Senate committee the United States has a limited objective in Vietnam and does not seek to widen the war. He warned of possible risk from China but argued U S and allies can counter North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces with increased buildup in 1966. He defended a 20,000 man rise in U S troops to 235,000 plus fleet support, and projected up to 670,000 by end of 1966 with additional allied forces.
