Nixon to cut Vietnam troop ceiling to 39000
President Nixon announced a new limit on U S forces in Vietnam lowering the ceiling to 39000, with Saigon saying about 37700 troops are actually in country. The draft is to be curtailed by December, moving toward an all volunteer force by 1973 amid planned Hawaii summit plans. The White House distributed a 51 page report in advance of Nixon's expected news conference.
