Mansfield Says Nixon Quickens Vietnam Withdrawals to Moot 1972
Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield asserted Nixon has accelerated U S troop withdrawals from Vietnam and will push to make the funding question moot in 1972. He noted withdrawals at about 17 000 to 19 000 a month, below the 184 000 December target, and cautioned against revising the end the war amendment before a Senate vote.

Congress expected to vote on two year draft extension
An Associated Press survey shows 53 senators opposed or likely against the amendment to extend the draft, 35 in favor and 11 uncommitted with four opposed. The House vote follows likely defeat with final action by June 30. Economic aid from East European nations to North Vietnam appears to have fallen to about 80 million in 1970 and perhaps lower in early 1971, with overall outside aid around 700 million in 1969 and 1970 from the Soviet Union and Red China.
