Nixon pulls out troops ahead of schedule in Vietnam
The Nixon administration says withdrawal goals were met three weeks early with 60,000 soldiers out of about 484,000 in Vietnam. Melvin Laird indicated further cuts will continue before any new target is announced, with pace around 12,000 monthly since July. Officials weigh 40 000 to 100 000 more to exit by next spring or summer amid rising enemy infiltration reports. In a separate note, Sean M Higgins 3 drowned in a home pool after rainwater collection.
