After President Kennedy was assassinated, President Johnson continued the same foreign policy of sending advisors to Vietnam. The advisors requested ground troops to the area, but Johnson refused until 1964. Three Vietnamese gunboats opened fire on the USS Maddox, stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin. President Johnson met with advisors to create a plan of retaliation.
