Defence and foreign plans. Nixon policy with draft and forces
The proposed Republican platform endorses Nixon's Indo China war terms and rejects amnesty for draft dodgers. It calls for a strong defence with no deep cuts to aircraft and missile programs, naval strength and troops in Europe, and an all volunteer force aimed at ending the draft by mid 1973. It supports continued aid to Israel, efforts to reduce Middle East military imbalance, and broad co operation with the Soviet Union, China, Taiwan, Japan and NATO allies.
