He stressed allies must bear the burden and noted lessons from Vietnam while avoiding discussion of future cases. He cited 38000 U.S. troops in South Korea as vital to regional peace and planned talks with Israeli Prime Minister Rabin.

Labor Secretary John F. Dunlop urged Congress to continue up to 65 weeks of unemployment benefits, phased out as jobless rates fall. He said 55 weeks may be needed nationwide beyond June 2, and outlined a tiered reduction plan tied to unemployment thresholds to end this year. The House previously passed a bill to extend benefits beyond June 30 without phasing formulas.
