Laird Shifts Vietnam Debate From 1970s Politics
Defense secretary Melvin Laird aims to move Vietnam out of the 1970s political spotlight. In a New York speech he argues U S objectives in Vietnam are being achieved while favoring a gradual withdrawal and a buildup of South Vietnam forces. He envisions an all volunteer force and contemplates future political moves including Wisconsin governor or challenging Sen Nelson. He notes a four year tenure may end with a lighter personal schedule and possible lectures or teaching.
