Budget cuts threaten up to 1.5 million jobs in defense
Defense Secretary Melvin Laird warned a proposed $7 billion 12 month cut would slash military and civilian personnel by as much as 1.5 million. He spoke as Congress eyed a $68 billion cap for fiscal 1972 amid broader aims for arms talks with the Soviet Union and troop reductions in Europe. Laird, who plans to leave the Pentagon after Nixon's first term, said he could stay briefly into the next term to aid orientation. In Vietnam, U S forces moved into the DMZ north, with heavy air and ground support as fighting intensified near Dong Ha mountain and Fire Base Fuller. The article also covers legal arguments over publication of defense documents and national security concerns, noting court submissions by Griswold, Bickel, and Glendon.
