Gradual Lift of Military Alert Begins
Washington AP Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger announced a gradual phase down of the U S military alert over Soviet moves in the Middle East. He noted many Soviet paratroopers may remain on alert and that a routine status return could be slow. The plan starts with a small Panama based unit and Caribbean troops returning to normal. Schlesinger cited three reasons for alarm: 50 000 elite Soviet paratroopers in Eastern Europe, a surge in the Soviet Mediterranean fleet to 85 ships, and possible Soviet troop movements toward Cairo. He said the alert aimed to deter unilateral Soviet action while the President remained in command. The NSC met late Wednesday. Nixon was briefed but did not attend. He said the two powers were very far from war.
