They struck the lines of supply which support the continuing movement of men & arms against the people & the government of South Vietnam. Our air strikes on North Vietnam, from the beginning, have been aimed at military targets & have been controlled w/ the greatest of care.
08:26:45 Those who direct & supply the aggression really have no claim to immunity from military reply. The end of the cause does not mean the end of our own pursuit of peace. That pursuit will be as determined & unremittent as the pressure of our military strength on the field of battle. In our continuing pursuit of peace I have instructed Ambassador Goldberg at the United Nations to ask for an immediate meeting of the United Nations Security Council. He will present a full report on the situation in Vietnam & a resolution that can open the way to the conference table.” Entire speech underneath images of planes bombing etc., and United Nations & Security Council footage.
