Clifford Seeks Paris Progress For Vietnam Troop Withdrawal
Secretary of Defense Clark M. Clifford said he hopes 40 days of Paris talks yield progress toward a mutual withdrawal of U.S. and North Vietnamese troops from South Vietnam. He cautioned no withdrawal is certain and noted possible North Vietnamese winter operations and budget pressures for 1969. He also urged talks with the Soviet Union on strategic arms reductions and said there is no merit to charges about U.S. ships in the Black Sea.
