Clifford's Vietnam formula may shape Nixon policy
James Reston analyzes Clark Clifford as a crisis fixer who outlined a 1970s Vietnam plan. The proposal urges 100,000 troop withdrawals, a promise of end-of-1970 ground troop withdrawal, continued air support, arms to Saigon, and sustained U.S. aid while pressuring Saigon to govern and Hanoi to accept relief from direct fighting. Clifford argues the plan tests South Vietnamese resolve and reduces American casualties while keeping strategic leverage.
