Fortis is the year in which matters of the spirit have become issues Hubert h. Humphrey of the  sen. Eugene .

This nation has no intention at least i believe the peo ple of this country have no in Tention of leaving the Peoples of South Vietnam at the mercy of an aggressor. I think the people of thisland want a peaceful settlement of this struggle and want it Assoon As possible. And they Don t want to sell out and if i m pres ident of the United states they won t get a . 7 be fore Catholic War veterans in Minneapolis.

You bet we Are. We re prepared for a cease fire any hour of the Day. However Hanoi has shown no such interest. But it May. I think we ought to keep pounding away at  june 23, to editors of the new Yor times. The objective of your government has been a political settlement a negotiated Settle ment of the Ruel and costly War in Vietnam to take this conflict from the Battlefield to the conference room and negotiations table. It has always been my objective. I have never Felt that Vietnam was subject Toa military  20 in new York City. It would be wrong to impose coalition government on South Vietnam by our  it would be the denial of self de  if the South vietnamese decide in their own Way that in order to bring peace to their country they have to have some kind of a coalition. This is a self determine  april 29 in Washington. Mccarthy this is the wildest testimony Ever heard. There is no limit to what he says the president can do. There is Only one thing to do take it to the  after the August 1966, com Mittee hearing at which undersecretary of state Nicholas Katzenbach said president Johnson has the authority to act in Viet Nam even without the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. There is unlikely to be cease fire or a significant reduction of military activity until the United states is prepared to admit that we will accept a new government in South Vietnam and that preservation of the present regime in Saigon is unachievable without Large scale and Long term occupation by american ,july 24. I have opposed the bombing since Early 1966. The bombing has been moral and political liability. A new government appears to offer the Only hop for the end to the fighting. The situation in South Vietnam can ultimately be stabilized Only by Resolution of the issues be tween the vietnamese themselves. The present government in Saigon will eventually have to enter into negotiation with the Elf National libera Tion front As Well As with other groups in the  july 24 statement. Mcgovern for nearly five years i have warned on the floor of the sen ate against our deepening involvement in Vietnam the most disastrous political moral diplomatic Blunder in our National  let us face it there will Beno meaningful negotiations until the bombing of North Vietnam has stopped. It should end in my judgment at this very moment. It has failed in any event in All of its stated objectives from the very beginning and it now blocks the path  the senseless search and de stroy operations that have been carried on the ground which kill the innocent along with the combatant should also cease now.
