Australia’s defence stance seen as clearer after talks
American Vice-President Spiro Agnew told reporters after briefing Australian Cabinet at Parliament House that the Nixon doctrine guiding Pacific policy would bolster five power security arrangements for Malaysia and Singapore. He said Australia understood the doctrine, affirmed U S commitments under ANZUS and SEATO, and noted no current plan for Australian troop withdrawals beyond April. Agnew noted discussions on the F-111 and NPT were brief and praised Prime Minister Gorton while warning the communiqué from his office was uninformative.
