The speakers, including Senator John Tower of Texas and House Armed Services Chairman Mendel Rivers, were all far more hawkish than the President. Rivers inveighed against the "Hanoicrats" in the U.S.?his description of war critics???and called on the country to support not only their President and their servicemen but also Spiro Agnew.
