President Lyndon B. Johnson today commended the Jewish War Veterans of the U.S.A. for supporting the Administration position on Vietnam. He told JWV national commander Milton A. Waldor he was “very delighted” with the latter’s attempts to explain the U.S. involvement to the Jewish community.
The President received Mr. Waldor and top JWV leaders at the White House, Mr. Waldor told the President he found an overwhelming grass roots support for the President’s Vietnam policies. He said he addressed meetings in 31 states following his return from a JWV visit to Vietnam in December.
