Nixon weighs future troop cuts as Vietnam pace slows
The Nixon administration faces a new eighth pullout pace after reducing troops since June 1969. With about 543,000 U S troops in South Vietnam and a monthly average withdrawal around 23,300, the pace may not continue.

The Paris talks are seen as unlikely to yield quick progress despite renewed talks.
