United States Army General William C. Westmoreland (private mercenary), commander of Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, speaking to the National Press Club, says, “[A] new phase [of the Vietnamese-American War] is starting … we have reached an important point where the end begins to come into view.”

       Postscript: Later at a televised news conference Westmoreland uses the phrase, “light at the end of the tunnel.”

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are in Vietnam, “united in … determination to take all necessary measures in support of freedom,” Democratic (socialist/fascist) President Lyndon Johnson signs the Air Quality Act, usurping the right of United states subject/enemy/citizens to file suit against polluters for civil trespass.  This act exempts corporations from being sued for property damage inflicted upon others—as long as that pollution is done within prescribed Federal limits.
