Nixon Opposes Resolutions To Intervene In Ireland
Washington AP The Nixon administration rejects calls for U S intervention in Northern Ireland arguing that congressional resolutions cannot alter U S policy.

He notes such resolutions risk creating expectations the U S cannot meet and could hinder Ireland's political settlement. Kennedy backed measure calls for British troop withdrawal and reunification, but Hillenbrand says Irish leaders doubt unity as a solution and oppose bombing tactics.
