In the spring of '64, Bobby was still maneuvering behind the scenes hoping to become LBJ's running-mate that year. I don't know what he was thinking, but when that didn't pan out he ran for the Senate and had his long-term sights set on the White House.
Also in the spring of '64, there weren't half a million combat troops in Vietnam, we weren't carpet bombing the North, etc. So RFK was tactically staking out a politically safe position for himself.
