Sen. Birch Bayh charges Nixon refuses a final Vietnam withdrawal date not for POW releases but to sustain the Thieu regime. He notes Hanoi may trade POWs for withdrawal, warnings that delayed U.S. troop pullback weakens leverage and prolongs the war. Bayh urges decisive POW release and set date now.
