Johnson seeks 700 million to back Vietnam and Dominican action
President Johnson asked Congress to approve an additional 700 million dollars to support U S operations in Vietnam and the Dominican Republic. He framed the request as a firm commitment despite risks and costs and outlined conditions in both theaters. He said peace talks are unlikely in Vietnam and that the U S will continue strikes against North Vietnam while pressing for a conference. In the Dominican Republic he warned of Communist efforts to seize the revolutionary faction and said the United States will keep forces there, hoping the OAS fosters an interim government and eventual free elections.
