Defense Sec flies to Korea for troop withdrawal talks
Defense Secretary Harold Brown travels to South Korea to discuss removing 33,000 U.S. ground troops and transferring weapons to Seoul. He will meet President Park Chung-hee and defense officials, as Carter plans a multi year withdrawal with continued U.S. air power support. A North Korean shoot down spurred the plan, with 3 soldiers killed and one captured. A task force estimates Korea may need up to $8 billion in new equipment, including 250 fighters and helicopters, to offset the withdrawal. Brown negotiates what may be provided free or sold, amid Pentagon guidance and previous talks by Habib and Gen. Brown.
