The crew members of the U. S. S. Pueblo are released after Major General Gilbert Woodward signed an apology. Dean Rusk, who had been heavily involved the negotiations, had Woodward sign a document disavowing any wrongdoing, stating the US did not apologize, and that the only reason the U. S. signed the document was to free the prisoners. Rusk publicly labeled the apology as "...a lie" before it was signed.
