Opposition to travel ban on Americans visiting North Vietnam grows
Law intended to bar U S citizens from traveling to nations in armed conflict with the United States drew mixed reactions from families of prisoners of war and lawmakers. Critics warned it could curb essential mail between Hanoi and POWs while supporters argued it would block antiwar propaganda. The measure, backed by the Internal Security Committee, seeks presidential approval for travel and carries penalties of up to 10 years in prison or a ten thousand dollar fine.
