Quick question re. Indochina Syllabus Point

On Monday I have a 25-marker exam with four syllabus points prescribed - one of them being:

Evaluate US foreign policy towards Vietnam from 1964.

Would anyone know what the scope of this syllabus point is? The timeline 1964-1979 is EXTREMELY broad (and from consulting past HSCs/Trials it's not really clarified either). Also, should I be worried focusing more on the 70s onward would stray too far towards the Tet Offensive, Withdrawal, and Reasons for Communist Victory dotpoints?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as this would assist me with direction in regards to my essays for this point.

hey i know this is extremely late, but maybe this can help for the final? I did a similar q in one of my papers this year, and yes, it is extremely broad but I think that is the point of the question. However, because it is so broad that makes it very difficult to answer well despite the amnt of info available. No i wouldn't be worried about moving towards the 70's & onwards (I did a similar thing and managed a 24/25) as these were key times where US policy changed (e.g. towards Vietnamisation etc), however, I would make sure to not solely focus on these areas, make sure you have a paragraph on Johnson and JFK and all of that stuff just to make sure you're truly answering the whole q.
