Nixon wins bipartisanship for China trip and invites Senate leaders
President Nixon secured broad congressional backing for his China mission and announced that Senate Majority Leader Mansfield and Minority Leader Scott will be invited to visit Peking. Ziegler said the leaders accepted the invitation while noting no further national addresses were planned. Mansfield and Scott, long conversant with China, welcomed the invitation as a sign of strengthened Sino U.S. ties and exchanges. The White House also indicated troop adjustments on Taiwan and Vietnam disengagement plans, with U.S. forces reduced to about 2,000 in Vietnam as part of phased withdrawals.
