Concorde dispute stand nixed by US government
Washington AP Transportation Secretary Brock Adams said the federal government would not pressure New York airport authorities to permit Concorde use at Kennedy Airport. He noted the brief to the New York Court of Appeals avoids portraying Port Authority actions as dictated by Washington and keeps the U S out of treaty matters while the court reviews jurisdiction and potential treaty impacts.

United States Plans Major Korea Troop Pullout by 1978
Tokyo reports say the United States intends to withdraw about 6,000 American troops from South Korea by the end of 1978, with a four to five year overall timetable. Current U S forces in Korea total about 30,000, and officials say assurances were sought from the Soviet Union and China to avoid increased tensions after the pullout. The New York Times cited Washington officials saying no formal assurances were given to Moscow.
