Canada cuts NATO nuclear strike role and manpower in Europe
Canada will discontinue its nuclear strike force in Europe by January 1972 and reduce NATO troop strength from 9,800 to 5,000 by next fall. Defense Minister Leo Cadieux said the move trims Canada’s European force, affecting about 10 percent of NATO’s nuclear capability.

Senate Clears Space Authorization In Conference Push
The Senate passed a 3.7 billion dollar space authorization bill by voice vote after a long debate over the program's future. Amendments by Sen. Ralph Yarborough to restore funds were rejected. Proxmire criticized lunar plans, while Yarborough defended space as a war on poverty and a driver of medical and communications advances. The measure now moves to a Senate House conference, with House approval amounting to 250 million less than the Senate bill.
