Nixon Signals Shift in Indochina Policy After Congress Limits
Washington reports President Nixon signaled willingness to work with Congress on Indochina policy, marking a concession on congressional power after a law halted U.S. bombing in Cambodia.

A North Vietnamese offensive in Laos and broader Indochina moves are cited as consequences of these restraints.
