  • Title: U.S.A.: SENATORS GEORGE McGOVERN AND WILLIAM FULBRIGHT CRITICISE VIETNAM WAR POLICIES ON T.V..
  • Date: 1st September 1970
  • Summary: 1. GV Capitol Building (silent shot) 0.11 2. CU Senator Fulbright 0.48 3. CU McGovern 1.14 TRANSCRIPT: FULBRIGHT: "The President spends most of his working day trying to win support for his war policy, and does not have much time to deal with powarty and crime, housing, schools and pollution. A congress burden with war costs and measures, has that much less time, money and spirit for the workaday tasks of studying social and economic problems, and legislating programmes to meet them. Worst of all is the loss of spirit and optimism which has affected so many of us. For the first time in history, Americans of all ages are shoving signs of cynicism and disillusion." McGovern: "It is almost impossible to distinguish friend from foe. They are all Vietnamese. They all share the same history, the same language, the same essential outlook on life and death. They have lived, and fought, and struggled with each other for a thousand years. And no matter how long we stay, when we go home, they will live, and struggle with one another for another thousand years. Initials CM/AW/PS Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
