VEITNAM Thieves fall out

S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk

» attended another Senate Foreign Relations Committee session on Jan. 8th to give his “testimony” on South Vietnam. This was his third “testimony” in a week on the questtion before the Congress. Chairman of the Committee J. William Fulbright revealed to newsmen later that at the session Rusk “‘is undergoing close examination.” He said that next week the Committee would ask Rusk to continue to “testify” on U.S. policy in South Vietnam, but he added, “it’s premature to say whether the Committee can arrive at a consensus,” Member of the Committee George Aiken said that he saw no signs of progress in the South Vietnam situation. He disclosed that there were differences of opinion among the members of the Committee on what the United States should do in South Vietnam. “Everyone has a view,” he said. “I don’t see how we can arrive at a consensus in the Committee.” Another member of the Committee Karl Mundt said that he felt ithe “‘consensus” among Committee members was that the situation in South Vietnam “is worse than it was three or four months ago.” Mundt said that he found nothing good in the situation there outlined by Rusk. An editorial in the NEW YORK TIMES of January 8th said “the growing pressure in the United States Senate for a full-scale debate reflects a growing uneasiness in the country.” It conceded that never in the decade of direct U.S. involvement in South Vietnam had the prospects of that “unfortunate country” looked less promising and nor had the political situation there ever been more confused. Rusk’s “testimony” on South Vietnam had “brought out the strongest differences of opinion” in the Congress.
