Apollo 11 crew Neil Armstrong Michael Collins and Edwin Aldrin undergo daylong biomedical tests aboard a Houston quarantine as officials review the moon mission for potential lunar material risks. Blood work on all five participants including Hirosaki and Carpentier guides early infection checks with white blood cell readings.

750 More Gis Leave Vietnam
750 American troops departed Vietnam under Nixon plan to reduce U.S. strength by 25,000 by August. The 4th Battalion, 39th Infantry, 9th Division, left Bien Hoa for Hawaii where it will be in ready reserve at Schofield Barracks. The withdrawal brings total US personnel pulled since June 8 to 7,400 as fighting continues around Saigon and along key infiltration routes. Smugglers of about 90 million entrants yearly show only about 400 convicted by the Treasury, Britannica notes.

Egypt's Air Thrust Rated a Failure
U.S. analysts say Egypt's rebuilt air force failed in its first major attempt to challenge Israeli air superiority since the 1967 war. They forecast Egypt will focus on local attacks along the Suez Canal and hit and run raids, while Israel bolsters its air strength with U.S. supplied aircraft. Russians have aided rearmament, but overall the Arab air forces lag Israel in training and combat readiness.
