Nixon seeks new Asia policy to avoid future Vietnams
President Nixon announced a plan for a revised Asia policy to prevent creeping involvement in future Vietnams. He aims for a relationship with Southeast Asian nations based on assistance, not dictate, and said a Moscow summit could be justified if it helps end the conflict. He will decide next month on troop withdrawals, but won’t announce new cuts during a Pacific swing after Apollo 11 recovery.
