11 200 GI withdrawal reveals progress toward Nixon goal
A total of 11,200 Americans were withdrawn from South Vietnam last week, lifting the roll to 46,300 in country and marking the earliest reduction past Nixon’s 69,000 target by May. Navy 7th Fleet strength rose by 6,500 as withdrawals continued, with 44,500 additional personnel added to fleet support. The total U S service members in Vietnam now stands at the lowest since mid 1965, while withdrawals from Vietnam are expected to continue for two more months despite further fleet buildup offshore.

Republican Governors Back Nixon Aid in Vietnam Stance
Republican governors meeting at White Sulphur Springs tentatively endorsed a resolution backing Nixon’s foreign and domestic policies while stopping short of direct endorsement of the bombing escalation. The plan, led by Nelson Rockefeller, aimed for strong support without specifics, with final voting due today and a briefing on Nixon’s campaign strategy by John Mitchell. Some leaders, including Ronald Reagan, indicated they might seek a broader endorsement of intensified bombing. Governor Milliken voiced reservations about the bombing, yet supported the resolution’s overall pro-Nixon tone. Reagan urged Ashbrook to drop his challenge to Nixon, suggesting the convention in San Diego be opened to party unity.

Angela letters vital to case court hears defense
In San Jose a prosecutor says Angela Davis letters to George Jackson anchor the state’s case, but the judge may rule later this week on releasing seven edited pages from an 18 page set. The letters written after Jackson left San Quentin in 1974 were found among his effects after his 1971 death. Defense critics call the editing “literary lobotomy” while the prosecution warns without the letters the case weakens. Witnesses included a San Quentin guard and an airline employee.
