Sparkman Sees Hope for Rhine Troop Pullback
Sen. John J. Sparkman of Alabama said the United States should consider withdrawing Occupation forces to the west bank of the Rhine if the Russians pull from East Germany. He urged broader pullbacks including Soviet troops from satellite states and supported negotiations for a neutral mid European zone. He criticized the administrations Middle East policy and urged loyalty to a bipartisan foreign policy while defending the filibuster as minority protection. He also voiced hope for federal aid to education and a soil bank program, and supported altering the presidential election system through the electoral college.
