REQUEST FOR MORE FUNDING OF THE WAR

President Lyndon B. Johnson - State of The Union Address - Holden Luntz  Gallery


On January 10, 1967, during his State of the Union speech,
President
Lyndon B. Johnson asked Congress for more
money to support the
Vietnam War.

Lyndon’s War, a war he actually inherited from President
John F. Kennedy, had achieved nothing by 1967. The North
Vietnamese use of guerrilla warfare tactics resulted in
approximately 14,000 American troops killed in action by
early 1967.

Hundreds of U.S. planes had been shot down, leaving Air
Force personnel in enemy POW camps. Although the enemy
also suffered heavy casualties, they did not show any signs
of giving up.

WAR IS ENDING ANNOUNCED ON THIS DAY

Today's Document • President Richard Nixon Announced the Preliminary...

At a news conference in 1969, President Richard Nixon said 
the
Vietnam War is coming to a “conclusion as a result of
the plan that we have instituted.”

Nixon had announced at a conference in Midway in June that
the United States would
be following a new program he termed “
Vietnamization.”

Under the provisions of this program, South Vietnamese forces
would be built up so they could assume more responsibility
for the war. As the South Vietnamese forces became more
capable, U.S. forces would be withdrawn from combat and
returned to the United States.

In his speech, Nixon pointed out that he had already ordered
the withdrawal of 60,000 U.S. troops.
