Nixon says he will press China and USSR on POW releases
President Nixon told Dan Rather he told China and the Soviet Union he expects their help if Hanoi does not free American prisoners of war by his February and May visits to Peking and Moscow. He outlined tough talks, noted possible agreements on arms, Middle East, and trade, and said he would not surrender bargaining advantages for election aims. He also indicated reelection plans and that freeing pilots held in Vietnam would be a high priority, with full withdrawal tied to POW releases.

Vietnam War and Nixon’s potential second term decision
President Nixon signaled a possible faster troop withdrawal from Vietnam later this month and left open the chance that all U.S. forces could be out by the November election. He warned that even one American prisoner of war would prevent a full withdrawal. He ordered a five day resumption of heavy bombing in North Vietnam after increased Vietcong activity. He defended the bombing as very effective and said actions would continue to protect withdrawing troops. He also said a decision on a second term would be disclosed by January 14, with no firm decision yet. Nixon and aides discussed supplying more Phantom jets to Israel amid Soviet arms deliveries to Egypt to prevent a shift in the Middle East balance. Heavy raids on a Laotian base were noted.
