Nixon sees path to cutting Vietnam troops and inflation
President Nixon, in a wide news conference, backs a timetable similar to Clark Clifford for withdrawing 100,000 U.S. combat troops from Vietnam by year end and all ground forces by 1970. He expects inflation controls to curb costs within two to three months and notes August review. He downplays plans for wage-price controls. He comments on New York mayoral primaries and voters' call for order over violence. He says most Americans in cities are not anti Negro or anti welfare.
