Laird vows bombing would continue until DMZ invasion halts
Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird told ABC this week the United States will not halt bombing North Vietnam until Hanoi withdraws its forces from the DMZ and ends violations of the Geneva accords. He said stopping depends on the enemy and cited Nixon’s peace offer as a potential trigger if accepted. Laird asserted North Vietnam has the capacity for at least one more large attack this year but would likely be repulsed with heavy losses.
