Church Urges Halt to Bombing and Cease Fire to Seek Peace
Sen. Frank Church says U.S. bombing of North Vietnam stiffens enemy resolve and dimmes chances for negotiated peace. He urges an indefinite Christmas cease-fire to explore settlement, warns against provoking Red China, and questions Peking’s UN seating while Taiwan is excluded. The senator notes limited U.S.-Soviet progress but praises the space nuclear ban treaty as a small step forward.
