Laird Details Vietnam Residual Force Plans
Laird clarified that residual forces beyond logistics and air support would stay after U.S. ground troops withdraw. Nixon aims to pull all combat troops, about 250,000, by end of 1970, leaving roughly 300,000 support personnel temporarily. Laird said advisers could remain after South Vietnamese take over the support and combat roles, and noted possible negotiations on force levels. He projected the defense budget next year may exceed 70 billion, following Johnson administration cuts to about 77 billion.
