McNamara Sees Limit To Hanoi Infiltration
Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee there may be a ceiling on how many troops the Communists can infiltrate and supply to South Viet Nam, with the U.S. effort potentially limited if air attacks halt more than 150 tons of supplies daily to the Viet Cong.
