Rusk Defends Viet Nam Policy Before Senate Panel
Secretary of State Dean Rusk told senators that the Viet Nam fighting is vital to prove U S resolve and to deter Beijing by force of commitment. He noted SEATO ratification in 1954 and argued US pledges carry worldwide implications while critics overlook the duty to uphold commitments. Gen Maxwell D Taylor defended the strategy, warning against a holding pattern or full withdrawal, while Lt Gen James Gavin and George Kennan offered contrasting views. Morse criticized Taylor’s stance, and Taylor said he faced current limits.
