Reserves Could Be Released From Active Duty Soon
Rep. Richard Schweiker said high Pentagon sources indicated some reservists called after the Pueblo seizure in January may be deactivated by the end of October. He cited potential releases exceeding 15 percent, about 2,000 men, and urged prompt deactivation of all 14,787. One likely early release is VF-931, a Navy reserve fighter squadron based near Philadelphia, whose 100 members have waited since January and would rejoin the fleet next January.

He noted a 700 man Marine rotation as not signaling broader pullouts and pressed Nixon to take a firm stand on the nonproliferation treaty and Supreme Court nominations. He condemned street violence but urged civil disobedience not to be equated with unrest.
