San Antonio grand jury urges federal help against narcotics
Four members of a San Antonio special grand jury urged a cooperative federal role to fight narcotics trafficking.

Jurors called for more federal cooperation and funding, noting limited indictments and need for more personnel.

Nixon outlines Taiwan troop pullout plan amid Vietnam war end
President Nixon told congressional leaders he would withdraw all but about 2,090 U.S. troops from Taiwan as the Vietnam conflict winds down. A residual force would stay until the Nationalists and Communists resolve their dispute, while China and the United States seek easing of tensions in the area. Senate leaders Scat and Mansfield discussed Nixon’s China trip context and the potential bargaining role of the Taiwan withdrawal. The plan envisions 6,000 trains to be withdrawn as ties with China stabilize, with about 2,000 remaining to support future cross-strait arrangements.
