Nixon Visits Asia Amid Vietnam Troop Withdrawals
Nixon's Asia trip comes as the United States accelerates troop withdrawals. About 6,800 of 25,000 ordered have left, with 550 from the 9th Infantry Division to depart Saturday. In Quang Tri, the 9th Marine Regiment held a farewell ceremony attended by Gen. Abrams. One third of the 8,000 Marines have already been withdrawn to Okinawa, with the rest to follow. The 25,000 remaining are pulled from the 7th Division in the Mekong Delta and other units, while some personnel are reassigned to the U.S. or deactivated. The war continues with 17 enemy shelling attacks in 24 hours, 20 Americans wounded, and mortar bombardments hitting a Marine position near Da Nang.
