U S military cuts eyed in Europe as pressure grows
Schlesinger warned of possible troop reductions though exact figures remained unclear. Reports suggested as many as 30,000 cuts, while about 300,000 U S troops were in Europe, 214,000 in Germany. Congress urged Europe to boost defense spending and forces before more pullback. West Germany agreed to over 2.4 billion dollars to offset costs of stationing troops, easing pressure for now.

Humphrey cited articles portraying him as stirring revolt and noted Firestone’s political contributions totaling 168700 for 1968–1972, which Firestone denied discussing ambassadorship.
