He warned against a snowballing effect on U.S. NATO commitments and noted Congress must decide policy while Nixon seeks broader alliance consultation and social planning under NATO. Diplomatic observers report limited allied enthusiasm for Nixon’s proposals, with only one of three likely to gain quick approval.
