Orr defends efforts as good faith with corrective actions possible. Cedar Rapids and Des Moines leaders defend governance and training value.

Peace Plan Details From Nixon Offer On Vietnam
The plan calls for a six month withdrawal of U.S. and allied forces, a cease fire and prisoner release, and new South Vietnamese elections with Thieu stepping down a month before the vote.
