Demos Heighten Attack on War Policies Debate grows over Nixon Indochina plan
Washington Democrats lash at President Nixon over Indochina policy claiming endless war as Kennedyesque withdrawal timetable is urged by Harriman and Warnke. They call for total U.S. troop withdrawal by year end and release of POWs while Kissinger warns against fixed withdrawal dates. Senate leaders echo concerns over possible expansion into Laos and North Vietnam involvement. Pentagon and State say policy limits U.S. role and aim to protect rescuers amid Laos operations.

He said no wage price controls are planned and a strong second half is needed to reduce the deficit of Nixon’s full employment budget. Commerce reports January trade surplus at 49.1 million, lowest since June 1969.

1968 Army plan barred undercover work in civil unrest
A 1968 Army civil disturbance information collection plan barred undercover intelligence operations except with Pentagon approval. It listed subjects to gather data on including militant leaders and sympathizers, and noted possible use of news media presence and observations of demonstrations. The 38 page document dated May 2 1968 was later rescinded in June and surfaced amid Senate rights subcommittee hearings. Pentagon officials indicate some agents may have violated orders in domestic spying cases.
