Dems Call for Larger Europe Troop Cutback
Senate Democratic leaders urged a far larger withdrawal of U S troops from Europe than the White House plan. Senate Leader Mansfield called Nixon's order to pull back about 15 000 troops in the coming year a start but not enough saying the move is a drop in the bucket. He noted 1 75 million troops and dependents are overseas across 30 nations with 2 700 bases. The administration said 14 900 will be brought home next year to cut costs and reduce U S presence overseas.
