U S May Reduce World Policing
Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird says the Nixon administration is reviewing foreign commitments to cut back the United States role as world policeman. He noted Congress approved many treaties, and the NSC review could send proposals back to Congress for reevaluation. He also warned the eight treaties would require about 109 billion dollars annually, which is unaffordable, proposing a reduced budget between 74 and 78 billion for FY 1970.
