Pentagon sets plan for McNamara Vietnam visit and troop rise
Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara heads to South Vietnam for his ninth trip as Washington weighs boosting U S forces. Current commitment hovers around 462000 to 470000 with proposals ranging from added divisions to 50 000 to 100 000 more personnel. General Westmoreland reportedly outlined options amid ongoing combat and a larger Communist buildup. President Johnson faces choices affecting the 1968 campaign as Saigon suggests higher troop needs, while the U S party plans a return in about a week.
