15 Republicans Underscore Support For Administration's Policy in Southeast Asia
15 Republican Congressmen, in a letter issued yesterday, underscored
Republican support of President Johnson's policy in Southeast Asia. In a letter
to House Republican Leader Gerald Ford, the 15 Congressmen pointed to the
unanimous Republican support in both Houses of Congress for the President's
request for an additional $700 million earmarked for Vietnam. The joint effort
mentioned the Republican Party's "continuing dedication to its uninterrupted
history of bipartisan support for United States policy in times of crisis."
The letter to Ford reminded "all those abroad who may hope that internal
differences will sap American will and purpose in Vietnam, the unanimous
Republican support of the President should make clear just how wrong they are,"
and that the Republican Party, despite differences with President Johnson, stands
together in the determination to preserve the integrity of South Vietnam and
the right of her people to be free.
