Nixon Says Laos Action Hastened US Pullout
President Nixon says allied operations in Laos will hasten the withdrawal of at least 12,500 U S troops each month from Vietnam and have reduced danger to remaining American forces. He argues an end date would aid Hanoi and signals a possible 1972 run for office. Nixon also criticizes media coverage and warns Congress that an end-the-war resolution would torpedo negotiated settlement efforts.
