Nixon Says U S Will Not Tolerate Middle East Offense
President Nixon outlined a hard line on the Vietnam war and Middle East talks during a nationally televised news conference. He cited progress with Britain and France and said four power talks at the United Nations could follow as four power talks on the Middle East move ahead. He noted discussions with Soviet envoy Dobrynin and stressed no withdrawal of U S troops from Vietnam in the near term. He praised the European trip for building trust with allies and said East-West talks would require allied understanding before any direct talks with the Soviet Union.

NSA Student Alliance Faces Funding and Policy Shifts
The NSA, a loose federation of 384 colleges with 1.7 million students, lobbies for student power and opposes the Vietnam War while awaiting an audit on a $3 million CIA funding legacy. It seeks repayment of $50,000 from a $150,996 grant used to mobilize volunteers across 20 Pennsylvania campuses, as OEO officials call the project a failure. The group also received $444,000 over three years to tutor poor children, with the grant dwindling and uncertain continuation. Further support comes from $14442 for student suicidies studies, $875,705 for teaching improvements, a $315,000 three-year Ford Foundation grant, and $320,000 from the Stern Family Fund for a student legal rights program.
