Commission Urges Lower Voting Age and Marijuana Reform
The National Violence Commission led by Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower urged Congress to lower the voting age to 18, liberalize marijuana laws, and reform the draft. It called for expanded public service opportunities for youth and said enfranchisement would channel youth views constructively, while acknowledging continued protest and social injustices.

Pullouts Focused on Shifting War Burden to South Vietnam
The program aims to shift most war burden to South Vietnam and withdraw U.S. ground troops by end of 1970. North Vietnam reportedly increased infil tra tion via the Ho Chi Minh trail with about 20 000 new troops entering last week, though easing recently. Analysts question whether the foe seeks to replace losses or expand forces for a possible offensive. Nixon warned that higher infiltration and U.S. casualties could slow troop pullback.
