Defense chief keeps options open on Korea policy
Defense Secretary Harold Brown in San Diego told South Korean officials that the Carter administration and Congress share aims for peace on the Korean peninsula. Congress resists withdrawing the 33,000 U.S. troops, with 3,400 to return by 1978 and the rest over four to five years, while $800 million of equipment in Korea may be turned over to Seoul. An 81 to 7 Senate amendment urges presidential consultation before further withdrawals, amid North Korean gains in artillery, tanks and aircraft near the DMZ. Brown emphasized flexible options amid complex regional ties with Japan the Soviet Union and China.
