Broadbent & Congressman Wilson's reply (3/26/64) re/ a critical view of continued U.S. expansion in Vietnam & Wilson's rejection of this viewpoint; a telegram (8/5/64) from Coronado constituents Mr. & Mrs. Peter W. Beachley & Wilson's reply (8/18/64) re/ criticism of the present administration in what Wilson called "our spineless policy" in Vietnam; a letter (10/21/64) from San Diego constituent Mrs. Deborah McAlexander & Wilson's reply (10/30/64) re/ lost of too many KB refueling tankers in Vietnam and resultant deaths of Vietnamese civilians; a letter (12/2/64) from San Diego constituent Dr. Charles A.
