Laird Says Draft Calls to Fall About 10 Percent
Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird announced that draft calls will drop about 10 percent next year due to President Nixon’s decision to withdraw 50 000 U.S. troops from Vietnam by mid April. He noted the total armed forces will shrink by roughly 50 000 as Vietnam withdrawals continue. Laird spoke after Nixon’s 50 000 man withdrawal plan, and he will travel to Vietnam in early February to assess security and enemy capability during the Tet period. He cautioned that assuming current infiltration rates a 40 000 man drop in enemy strength could limit a sustained North Vietnamese offensive for now. He also said he ruled out external forces moving into South Vietnam in time to threaten III and IV corps offensive action soon.
