Dow and Stratton clash over Vietnam funding policy
Two New York Democrats, Rep. John G. Dow and Rep. Samuel Stratton, spar on the House floor over Viet Nam policy and a proposed amendment to withhold over 6.1 billion dollars in military spending. Dow argues for protest and restraint, while Stratton says funds are needed for troops, noting curtailment talks and Paris peace efforts. The amendment was defeated by a standing vote.
