Goldwater pressed LBJ on Vietnam war plans disclosure
In a 1964 campaign claim, Barry Goldwater said he urged Lyndon B Johnson to tell the public the Vietnam war would widen with bombing and more troops. He claimed Johnson declined, and that revealing such plans might have cost him the election. Goldwater asserted he knew expansion plans existed from his own sources and chose to stay silent to avoid exposing secrets.
