Solon Revives Move to Cut U.S. Troop Strength in Europe
Senate leaders, led by Mike Mansfield, plan to revive a resolution to substantially reduce U.S. troop levels in Europe. Support comes from Stuart Symington and J. W. Fulbright, who favors fewer bases, including in Spain. Mansfield cites the Czechoslovakia invasion as over, as Okinawa status may shift by 1972. A Japanese visit looms as Ford aims at balancing Okinawa with Vietnam ends.
