McNamara to Make Ninth Vietnam Trip Amid Debated Buildup
Sec McNamara plans another trip to South Vietnam next week as debate over expanding U S forces continues. Officials cite troop levels near 462 000 with possible increases of two to four divisions, or about 25 000 to 30 000 men, while the war’s pace and political factors loom large.
