Most of the journalists strongly opposed a suggestion that the Defense Secretary accredit in advance all reporters and photographers who cover combat situations. They also objected to a proposal that U.S. citizenship be a requirement for battlefield correspondents representing U.S. news organizations, a rule that might have prevented ABC Anchorman Peter Jennings, a Canadian citizen, from covering the Viet Nam War between...
