Lyndon B Johnson: Address To The Nation
Johnson calls for the “substantial reduction” of violence in North Vietnam by restricting the bombing to “90 percent of North Vietnam,” with the demands to begin the process towards peace through serious discussion and negotiation with Hanoi. The bombings will not cease completely until discussions begin. Johnson states that the US will send 600,000 men to assist the soldiers of South Vietnam and calls for Congress’ involvement in supporting the economic and political implications of the war in Vietnam. He reports his decision to not run for reelection.
