Senate votes to halt Indochina war funds amendment outcome
The Senate backed an end the war amendment to a Pentagon bill by 49 to 47, with a later 51 to 47 tally on Nixon conditions. The move would withdraw U S troops from Indochina within four months if Hanoi frees prisoners and accounts for MIAs, while funding only withdrawal and protection. The House has no end the war provision, and a conference could kill the measure or delay final action until after the election.
