Nixon Speech Highlights Show Nixon Defends Vietnam Exit Path
President Nixon says he will not be intimidated by antiwar demonstrators and aims to end the Vietnam War with a lasting peace. He rejects a North Vietnamese POW release as sufficient for US withdrawal and discusses plans to normalize relations with China, potentially visiting the mainland. The Calley case is cited to quell outcry, and he backs busing for southern school integration while ruling out new inquiries into US Vietnam involvement and remote new Indochina operations.
