Nixon Orders Continuation of Reconnaissance Flights
President Nixon ordered that reconnaissance flights near North Korea be continued and protected, saying the action is a fact not a threat. He noted 56,000 U.S. troops in South Korea and cited the North Korean attack on a Navy EC 121 with 31 deaths as context for the policy. He also voiced optimism on Vietnam peace and denied unilateral U.S. withdrawal.
