Nixon Plans Withdrawal of Okinawa Nuclear Arms
Washington reports President Nixon decided to remove American nuclear weapons from Okinawa once a plan to revert the Ryukyu Islands to Japanese rule is agreed. Timing depends on the reversion terms, with Japan seeking return by 1972. Informants say the move reflects a priority on long term US Japan ties over military edge in the Pacific. The Ryukyus were captured in WWII and remain under US administration pending formal negotiations.
