>> when i walked into the office, january of 1969, i inherited a problem. the war in vietnam had been going on for a period of 12 years. casualty, 200 to 300 a week. i didn't send 550,000 men to vietnam. nevertheless, this was the responsibility that i knew was

mine. ♪ >> good evening, my fellow americans. since i took office four months ago, nothing has taken so much of my time and energy as the search for a way to bring lasting peace to vietnam. i want to end this war. the american people want to end this war. but we want to end it permanently, and therefore, we have ruled out a one-sided withdrawal from vietnam or the acceptance in terms that it would amount to a disguised american defeat. when we assume the burden of helping defend south vietnam, millions of south vietnamese men, women, and children, place their trust in us. to abandon them now would risk a massacre. that would shock and dismay everyone in the world who values human life. let me be quite blunt.

our fighting men are not going to be worn down. our mediators are not going to be talked down. and our allies are not going to be let down. thank you, and good night. >> the speech this evening was a culmination of more than a month of background speculation, and i'd like to know if, indeed, there is anything new in the speech tonight. >> roger, i think the immediate visceral reaction is same old stuff. the president did not announce any limited u.s. troop withdrawals. he announced no u.s. troop withdrawals at all. there just isn't a great deal in this speech that the american people will immediately recognize as new. >> you think there will be a way to peace after listening to president nixon's speech? >> maybe the next three, four years, but no way soon.

>> for nine days american and south vietnamese troops have been trying to take a mountain near the border. ten times they have been thrown back. the casualties have gone so high that the mountain has become known as hamburger hill. >> they were sending us up there. we weren't getting anywhere. they were slaughtering us like a turkey shoot and we're the turkey. >> hamburger hill captured only last week apparently is going to be abandoned. the battle for hamburger hill and resulting casualties set off quite a controversy this week and senator edward kennedy was in the center of it. >> certainly anyone, anyone that witnessed cruelty and savagery of this past week, only had been immoral if they remained silent, silent about this war. >> responding to that criticism, the spokesman said mr. nixon does not second guess his field commander.

>> teddy kennedy is far and away the democratic front-runner for president in 1972. >> 1972, the great many stories about muskie/kennedy ticket, kennedy/muskie ticket. i want to just say tonight right now there is absolutely no truth to those stories. ed muskie hasn't picked a vice president yet. let me say, neither have i. [ laughter ] >> for democrats the young massachusetts senator, last of the kennedy brothers, speaks out strongly on the major issue where conflict arises with president nixon and republicans generally. >> all of the so-called intellectual elite, the so-called better people, were against what we were doing in vietnam. they thought we should get out. whatever the cost might be. well, if they wanted to end the war, they should have supported

what we were trying to do. rather than to sabotage our efforts to end it. >> the president asks for time to end the war, but these people think he's had enough, and they hope the american public will give him that same message in a big way on october 15th. >> mr. president, what is your view, sir, concerning the student moratorium being planned against the vietnam war? >> as far as this kind of activity is concerned, we expect it, however, under no circumstances will i be affected whatever by it. >> that brief categorical statement has backfired and become a rallying point for the anti-war movement. [ crowd chanting "peace now" ]

>> the day we unite from one coast to another to seek, to request, to implore. an armistice. >> hundreds and hundreds of thousands in cities from new york, to dubois, wyoming, seek to impress upon the president their opposition to the war. >> more than 40,000 of our men have given their lives as sacrificial lambs to a godless cause. when will it cease? when does the moratorium on death to our sons begin by the united states government? >> it just seems to all of us who observe politics that something has changed since richard nixon has come in. what caused that? >> well, i think one must say that the disillusionment index

begins to represent middle america, not just the left wing. >> what we've seen today, president nixon will have to take account of it because if it appears to him to be essential to the success of his own administration, he must do it. >> we can go further than that, ed, and you can say that president nixon, himself, started this. president nixon ran on a platform of ending the war and winning the peace. so ending the war is now dogma in american politics and it becomes a matter of when and then it becomes inevitably a matter of hurry up. panera's new baja warm grain bowl is full of good. full of tasty, good for you ingredients. fresh and filling. so that you too will be full of good. try our new warm grain bowls today. order now on grubhub.

policy of this nation to be dictated by the minority who hold that point of view and who try to impose it on the nation by mounting demonstrations in the street. and so tonight, to you, the great silent majority, i ask for your support. i pledged in my campaign for the presidency to end the war. the more support i can have, the sooner that pledge can be redeemed. let us be united for peace. thank you. good night. >> whatever reaction to the president's vietnam speech you want, you could find here in washington the day after. the president, himself, received lots of it and twice invited reporters in to see it stacks on the desk where the buck stops. >> most of the response was favorable, but not all was spontaneous. >> before the president's speech, republican party officials directed to generate as much favorable reaction as possible.
