The jet takes off vertically like a helicopter and flies faster than sound, with plans to buy 114 at about 4.8 million dollars each, swapping out a US-built fighter for every Tarrier purchase if Congress approves.

Laird details Vietnamization and troop reductions timelines
Secretary Laird said Phase 2 is ahead of schedule and U S combat role requires more time. He forecast American forces in Vietnam to fall from 549 500 in January 1969 to under 284 000 by May 1 but gave no timetable for further cuts. He noted a March withdrawal of the U S 1st Air Cavalry and urged continuation of negotiations in Paris while stressing the Nixon doctrine of shifting defense duties to allies. He warned progress in negotiations was limited and cited some gains on African prisoners of war but said North Vietnam did not fully meet Geneva terms.
