Nixon Presses European troop level debate
Secretary of State William P. Rogers warned that a 50 percent cut in U S troops in Europe would be a historic mistake and could end NATO. He cited Brezhnev's call for talks on mutual reductions as a factor in the Senate battle over Mansfield's amendment to cap U S forces in Europe at 150,000 after 1971. Mansfield aims to press the measure despite Brezhnev's invitation, while Griffin warns the move could derail disarmament talks.
