ln South Vietnam,...
:00:12
...communist groups
from the North have made...
:00:14
...their deepest penetration
in the south,...
:00:16
...so far in the war.
:00:18
The enemy used tanks in
an ambush today...
:00:20
...against some two hundred
American air cavalry men...
:00:22
...touching off a four hour battle
near Keisung.
:00:25
And this late dispatch from the
US command in Vietnam:...
:00:28
...allied troops have killed
243 more Vietcong...
:00:32
...in the vicinity of Saigon,
in a battle that is still raging.
:00:36
President Johnson
told a pro-administration...
:00:38
...labor convention
in the nation's capital,...
:00:40
...that this country
will stand firm in Vietnam,...
:00:43
...and will continue to build
better conditions in America.
:00:46
lt sort of took a fellow back
to the days of Harry Truman,...
:00:49
...to hear his audience cheer him on
with shouts of 'Give them hell!',...
:00:52
...as the President
defended his record.
:00:54
Now, the America
that we are building,...
:00:58
...would be a threatened nation...
:01:02
...if we let freedom and
liberty die in Vietnam.
:01:07
We will do what must be done,
and we'll do it both at home...
:01:13
...and we'll do it wherever
our brave men...
:01:16
...are called upon to send.
:01:24
This is the America
that we have faith in.
:01:28
This is a nation that is building.
:01:32
This is a wonderful country
that is growing.
:01:37
And l hope that you men...
:01:40
...are determined to help us
meet these problems.
:01:45
l hope you men are determined
to see our help give justice.
:01:49
Not just for ourselves...
:01:52
...but for all the people
of this nation...
:01:55
...and for all the people
of the world.
:01:58
And l sometimes wonder
why we Americans enjoy...
