Withdrawal from All parts of Indochina except Thailand within four months if Hanoi releases american prisoners and accounts for gis missing in action. The Senate passed the Milder amendment then killed the foreign Aid Bill to which it was attached. But in a Quick turn around the Senate passed the stronger end the War provision and also the Pentagon procurement Bill carrying it. Because the House version of that Bill contained no end the War language the package was sent to a House Senate conference where it May languish without action.
