A report from Washington notes President Nixon today endorses sufficiency over superiority as the guiding standard in U S military power. He argues sufficiency avoids provoking an arms race and aims to defend U S interests while keeping commitments worldwide.
President Nixon, in a roughly 28 minute East Room briefing, outlined possible shifts in policy toward Arab-Israeli tensions and a move away from Johnson era mediation. He urged new initiatives to cool the Mideast and suggested direct talks with the Soviet Union on missile reduction. He described U S strength as sufficiency rather than superiority or parity and defended pursuing a more open, television friendly approach to communicating with the public.
President Nixon described his approach as methodical and cautious at his first news conference. He said policy should be formed through a chain of command and not off the cuff reactions, with decisions on eight areas to come later. He stressed there is one president at a time and pledged swift but orderly action to stamp his mark on government.
