New Senate Dove

HANOVER, N.H.-Sen. Thomas J. Mclntyre (D-N.H.) a longtime hawk, reversed his stance Monday and urged a quick Vietnam pullout in order to save our nation from "tearing itself apart."

Mclntyre provided the crucial vote last spring for passage of the ABM bill. He said that the "psychological cost of this war has become simply too much to bear."

The Senator said that dissent is not limited "to a handful of unkempt yippies raising hell," but "lies deep within this nation's vitals." He endorsed the October 15 Moratorium in the hope that it might "give the President that essential broad base of constructive support which will enable him to move with boldness, decision and dispatch to do the nation's obvious bidding."
