House Votes On Rider Ordering U S Pullout From War
Washington AP The House prepares to vote on a rider demanding a U S pullout from Indochina this year. Supporters link the mandate to prisoner releases and a cease fire while opponents warn it could doom a 2 1 billion foreign aid package. The measure would require all U S forces out as long as prisoners are freed and a cease fire is in place, with an exception to protect withdrawing troops. The Senate already rejected Nixon foreign aid requests, and early votes on aid provisions followed.
