1971 Press Photo Senator Humphrey gestures amid Loyola University students

Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, D-MN, told a Loyola University audience Thursday afternoon that although he supported former President Lyndon Johnson's Vietnam war policies, "the only answer today is to withdraw" from the Southeast Asian country. During a speech on the steps of the Loyola library, the former vice president said that he supported the Vietnam strategy at that time, but since then some facts have come to light that have made him change his mind.
