Withdrawal date floated to free POWs amid Indochina pullout talk
Former Defense Secretary Clark Clifford proposed a Dec 31 deadline for U.S. withdrawal in Indochina claiming it could prompt North Vietnamese and Viet Cong to halt attacks and free prisoners. Rep. Leggett said Paris negotiators indicated prisoner releases before any withdrawal date. White House and State Department officials dismissed immediate shifts and cautioned a full pullout by year end as precipitous. In Phnom Penh, Cambodian forces faced fresh heavy assaults on eastern approaches near Vihear Suor as fighting intensified.
