In a federal court affidavit Nixon rejects the view of an imperial presidency. He says he relied on blunt outside advice, drafted State of the Union messages alone, kept a private diary, and read letters to Vietnam families. He details discussions with aides, members of Congress, and private citizens to guide decisions.

Military May Give Viets First Choice
The Department of Defense may grant enlistment preference to U S trained Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees. From 6000 to 8000 refugees could qualify under the directive. Preference applies to former trainees admitted as resident aliens and those in training when Saigon fell. Most will not be admitted as resident aliens immediately and must gain permanent resident status before enlistment. Officials say the program lets the armed forces acquire trained personnel at minimal cost.
