Congress Split Over Vietnam Aid Debate Among lawmakers
Congress remains deeply divided on US aid to Vietnam with Republicans opposing any funding and Democrats split between humanitarian aims and fears of cutting domestic programs. Rep Dickinson vows no aid to Vietnam while Rep Hansen defends helping Thieu and Rep McCluskey calls for rebuilding efforts amid World Peace concerns. Liberals wary that aid would be funded by further domestic cuts despite Nixon stating otherwise.
