Thieu supports phased U S pullouts and limits on full exit
President Nguyen Van Thieu said Vietnam could see more American troop withdrawals next year but full removal remains years away. He urged supplying Viet Nam with equipment and funds to modernize its forces as a condition for pulling out infantry. The briefing followed Nixon’s plan to cut forces to 484,000 by mid 1970. Meanwhile battlefield death tolls and mass graves near Hue drew new attention to the war. American raids in Laos were claimed to have killed up to 1,000 enemy troops in the Muong Soui area.
