No Viet bombing to continue until de escalation offered
Washington reports confirm the Johnson administration will not halt bombing North Vietnam without an explicit de escalation from Hanoi. Defense and White House officials reject a permanent unconditional end as a precondition for peace talks. Gen Taylor warns halting bombing for such a promise would be a mistake, while McNamara and Rusk affirm aligned bombing policy to seek an early settlement. The Pentagon criticizes Cambodia's prince Sihnouk for proposing an end to the bombing as a condition, stating such a move would escalate risk and fail to reward aggression.
